I need help writing an essay comparing and contrasting Number the Stars and The Giver, both by Lois Lowry. It is due TOMORROW!!! I have the first paragraph done but I need some help with writing the next 5. These are the directions given by my teacher:

- Goal: Write a well-developed, compare and contrast essay.

- Compare and contrast the main characters from your two books.

- Step 1: Begin to write your essay.

- Paragraph 2: A SHORT summary of your two books.

Provide a short overall summary of your two books. This paragraph should not exceed 10 sentences for BOTH books. Keep it short and sweet. :)

- Paragraphs 3-5ish: Compare and contrast

In the next few paragraphs, go into the details showing the similarities and differences in either your characters, plot, and theme, or author’s style. You may organize this however works best for you. For example, you may have one paragraph about one topic, one paragraph about the other, and one that shows similarities.

The key here is that there should be SPECIFIC examples from your texts. For example, Both of the main characters from my book have extremely difficult lives. Jack, for example, lost his mother at the age of 3 and then went on to be in foster care throughout the book. In his first foster home, he was only there a week. In the second, he didn’t get along with the family and his grades and self-esteem really suffered.

- Paragraph 6(ish): Conclusion paragraph

Reiterate your thesis statement from the introduction and give some final thoughts.

Example: Both the characters of Jack and Henry had very difficult lives and that’s what made them so similar. However, despite these similarities, they had many differences when it came to how they chose to live their adult lives. They both learned from their individual experiences. I really enjoyed both of these stories and found it interesting to see how two characters adapted and changed despite having many difficulties in their younger years.

Thank you in advance!

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
