Write a comprehensive compare and contrast essay on the novel AND the film Wuthering Heights.

To write a strong, four-paragraph compare and contrast AP-style essay, you MUST discuss BOTH similarities and differences and ANALYZE why they occur. While it may be easy to trace similarities and differences in the plot, your task is more than that; you MUST include your personal analysis to make your essay stronger.

Once you have finished reading the novel and watched (or re-watched) the film (accessible free on YouTube), you will brainstorm how the two works are alike and dissimilar and answer the AP-question, so what?

Create an introduction. Start your essay with a hook (a quote or an intriguing question). Give some general background on the topic. Present and underline your thesis statement. Remember that your thesis should not only hint at differences and similarities, but also answer the “so what?”
Write two body paragraphs. Follow your outline and use appropriate transitions. Do NOT include ANY book or movie quotes or citations.
Conclude effectively. Restate your thesis and summarize your points. Let your reader understand that the synthesis of all these points allows them to learn something new about both the movie and the book.
