Question
im doing a comparison and contrast essay on canada and the USA .i have an outline but how do i go about puting it on paper?? can u write me back soon thanx
Having an outline is great! That's the hard part, actually.
Since you have an outline, basically you need to come up with an intro that has a good thesis statement as the final sentence, and then at least three points of comparison you want to make. Each comparison should be one paragraph, with each paragraph having a topic sentence at at least two sentences of support. Then simply conclude by summarizing your main points.
Hope this helps!
