Throughout your career as a student you'll have to write several kinds of essays. One of these is the compare and contrast essay. Literature students, for instance, must write compare and contrast essays on two specific works of literature -- in this case, poetry. Such essays analyze the similarities and differences between two literary works to encourage critical thinking.
Forrest Gander, the Adele Kellenberg Seaver Professor of Literary Arts and Comparative Literature, has degrees in geology and English. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of more than a dozen books, including the novels The Trace and As a Friend, now translated into half a dozen languages, Gander writes across the genres. His collection Be With won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize; Core Samples from the World (a National Book Critics Circle and 2012 Pulitzer Prize finalist), is concerned with the way identity is translated by encounters with the foreign. The editor of several anthologies of poetry from Spain and Latin America, Gander is also a well known translator: Spectacle & Pigsty by Kiwao Nomura won the 2012 Best Translated Book Award. In a collection of essays, A Faithful Existence, Gander explores evolution, literary hoaxes, snapping turtles, and border crossings. He is a United States Artists Rockefeller Fellow and recipient of fellowships from the Library of Congress, the Guggenheim, Howard, and Whiting Foundations.
I write fiction, poetry, essays and other works not readily characterized within genre boundaries, and I translate (mostly Hispanic) literature. In all these activities, I am concerned with ethical questions: what kind of experience and relationship does language articulate, what account of the suffering and joy of others does imagination avail, what qualities of expression, thought, and feeling can be translated from one culture and language to another?

Always use credible and relevant sources for pulling information to write your essays since you have two topics to research and compare objectively. Referencing your data is the best way to prove the facts, and ideas or even explain why you support this or that statement.
Even when you read prose, our guide for reading poetry offers good advice: read with a pencil and make notes. Mark the words that stand out, and perhaps write the questions you have in the margins or on a separate piece of paper. If you have ideas that may possibly answer your questions, write those down, too.
