William Butler Yeats, Easter 1916, The Second Coming, and Leda and the Swan. Seamus Heaney, Digging, The Punishment, Skunk, and Station Island. To answer these questions, you will need to find three ways in which your selected text dramatizes, contradicts, illuminates, or poses as an exception to Wollstonecraft s theories and to develop each way in a separate paragraph. You may also want first to present a theory from Wollstonecraft and then to present a way in which the text contradicts the theory, illustrating what downfall or unexpected result occurs when a character does or does not follow Wollstonecraft s advice. Finally, you may want first to present a point from the text and then to present how Wollstonecraft would respond to that point, showing how Wollstonecraft can give us greater insight into what happens in the text.
Differences make way for critical thinking.
The topic sentence of each body paragraph should mention both texts or characters or authors and the way under discussion. The first half of the paragraph should discuss a specific aspect of one text. Then you should make a mid-paragraph transition and discuss a related aspect from the other text. Your order of presentation should remain consistent throughout the essay and should follow one of the patterns outlined above. In other words, this format follows the format of a contrast essay.
