Compare and Contrast two short stories. The short stories are "That Room" by Thomas Wolff and "Young Man on Sixth Avenue" by Mark Halliday. The comparison of the topic would emphasize their similarities, while a contrast would stress their differences. It is possible to include both perspectives in the paper if you find significant likeness or differences. Choose a topic that encourages you to ask significant questions about each work since the purpose of a comparison or contrast is to understand the works more clearly for having examined them together.
