ENGL-117 Week 4 Discussion: Comparison-Contrast and Process Analysis
This discussion has two parts.
1. Read the following in your textbook: “Unhappy Birthday” by Marlo Morgan (pp. 153-154) and “Bringing out the Flirt in You” by Christine Ng (pp. 155-157). In complete sentences and with depth and detail, answer the following:
- As process analysis pieces, how are these two works different in purpose and scope? In other words, are they small-task-related, describing a larger, more timely process, or entertaining/informative?
- What process have you encountered in your education, work, training, or life in the past? How were the processes conveyed to your or your colleagues? Do you think the steps were clear? Why or why not? What processes do you expect to encounter in your future career?
2. Post one paragraph from your comparison and contrast essay by expanding fully a point from your extended draft outline assignment (Week 3 Assignment). Then, address the following:
- What additional details might you add to this paragraph to make it more appealing and clearer to your reader?
