I need this written in a numerical format exactly as I have numbered it, please. This will help a lot when I go to write the essay. Thank you. For Writing Assignment 2, you will compare and contrast two sources. Like most academic papers, your comparison and contrast paper will be structured into three sections—an introduction paragraph, a body that includes several development paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph.: You can create a different forecasting thesis statement pattern, as long as your thesis clearly shows what is similar and what is different in the main arguments, counterarguments, and types of evidence between the two sources. 1 PAGE ASSIGNMENT 1 inch margins, 12 point Times New Roman font, and minimal spacing elements, a good rule of thumb is 500 words.

A discussion of the differences between two sources on the same topic address differences in the main argument they present on the same topic address similarities in the types of examples and evidence they use to support EITHER their supporting points OR their counterarguments 2.)
