![Page 4: Synthesis part ii](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d193eb4af9f8e2c8b53e8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Engage the Reader Emotionally by Appealing to Self Interest
Erotomania can be defined as a psychological disorder in which the afflicted relentlessly pursues the notion that the object of his/her affection reciprocates his/her romantic feelings and/or fantasies. Strangely the erotomaniac fails altogether to see the victim's lack of interest.

Compare: look for similarities
![Page 11: Synthesis part ii](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d193eb4af9f8e2c8b53e8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

![Page 12: Synthesis part ii](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d193eb4af9f8e2c8b53e8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

How do you develop a comparison and contrast synthesis?
![Page 14: Synthesis part ii](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d193eb4af9f8e2c8b53e8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Organizing by Source or Subject
First, summarize each of your sources or subjects
Next, discuss the significant similarities and differences between them
![Page 15: Synthesis part ii](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d193eb4af9f8e2c8b53e8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Organization by Source Will Look Like This:
1. Introduce the paper; lead to thesis
2. Summarize the source of Subject A by discussing its significant features.
3. Summarize the source of Subject B by discussing its significant features.
4. Write a paragraph where you discuss the significant points of comparison and contrast between sources or subjects A & B
5. End with a conclusion where you summarize your points and raise pertinent questions

Organization by Criteria
1. Introduce the paper and lead to the thesis
2. Criterion 1: Discuss what author one says and discuss what author two says as a comparison and contrast or present what author one says and present author two in light of the first author’s opinion and present differences
3. Criterion 2 and so forth, repeat the above step.
4. End by summarizing key points and raising key pertinent questions

Avoid the “So What” or “Why did I bother reading this” ending
Conclusions should be meaningful to your reader.
Comparison and contrast is not an ends to itself
Raise pertinent questions

![Page 24: Synthesis part ii](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d193eb4af9f8e2c8b53e8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
