Textual Comparison

Worksheet Description

The “Textual Perspective Literary Criticism” worksheet guides students in writing a short paper of literary criticism by comparing and contrasting two texts.

Students complete a table where they list the titles and authors of the two texts, summarize their content, identify main themes or ideas, and explore textual elements such as symbolism, tone, and narrative style.

This exercise encourages students to delve into the intricacies of each text and examine how different textual elements contribute to the overall meaning and interpretation.

By analyzing the texts side by side, students develop a deeper understanding of the nuances within each text and sharpen their critical thinking skills through comparative literary analysis.
