maddymad 1 / - Mar 16, 2010 #1I have an essay due in two days too on either contrasting or comparing two poems that I have chosen from our literature book. One is by Piercy, title Baby Doll and the other is by Angelou, Phenomenal Woman. What the two have in similarity is about the images and symbolism of womanhood. However how they contrast is that one woman believes in herself and the other doesn't. I am very new at this. I need any help available. Thank you very much.

EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 Mar 18, 2010 #3That is great advice. If you are a beginner, you should google what Sue told you to google and try writing the type of essay called "alternating" compare and contrast. That means you will write one body paragraph about one of them, another body paragraph about the other, and a third that tells the similarities and differences. Then, go back and add an introduction para at the beginning and a conclusion at the end. If you post here, we'll help!!:-)
