Sample Comparative Paper Topic Statement (with Mrs. Gracesqui as the author of the paper):

Mr. Brown from Achebe's Things Fall Apart has a Christian worldview that compares to my Conservative Christian worldview through who we believe God is and what the basis of morality is.  However, Bernard from Huxley's Brave New World has a Postmodern Marxist worldview that contrasts with mine based on our views of the basis of knowledge and what happens to a person at death.
