Find, write, and cite three passages in each that develop the idea and explain in a few sentences the way each author uses this idea and the relationship between the two. Then, find images that represent, illustrate, or symbolize this relationship. Create a 8-12 image power point that visually explores the ideas in and between the two texts. Consider how you would organize images to communicate these ideas and their relationship. You may not use text in the powerpoints. Some possible themes or comparative elements might include: cash, foil characters, parents, vehicles, crimes, police, café/restaurants, books, politicians, alcohol, traditions, bad first jobs, or any other specific point of comparison you like.
