Compare/Contrast Thesis Statements
While both passages discuss the same subject—the Okefenokee Swamp, Passage 1 objectively portrays the Okefenokee Swamp simply as a “primitive” swamp and “wildlife refuge”; and Passage 2 subjectively portrays the swamp as a “primeval,” “hellish zoo” through diction, detail, and syntax.
Example 1: Combined
While Passage 1 employs academic diction, factual details, and loose sentence structures to objectively portray the Okefenokee Swamp simply as a “primitive” swamp and “wildlife refuge,” Passage 2 employs cacophonous diction, undesirable imagery, and periodic sentence structures to subjectively portray the swamp as a “primeval,” “hellish zoo.”
Example 2: Parallel
Passage 1 uses academic diction, which produces a rather technical view of the Okefenokee Swamp; however, Passage 2 employs cacophonous diction, which produces a repulsive view of the swamp.
