I need help writing a comparison and contrast essay for my Composition I class. I already have a topic picked out. I want to compare two different schools. My question is what is the best way to do this? Should I compare it by subject by subject or something else? Also my instructor wants us to use the MLA format and some kind of source to back up our essay. I know it kind of sounds like a research paper, but it's not. Any good suggestions will do. Thanks in advance!
