Default Re: A final question, structure.

As a general outline, it is not the recommended form, which would ask you to keep your similarities and differences in linear order rather than scattered about:

Intro - general info and thesis statment about the existence of similarities and differences.

P1 - all similarities (note that this comes first because they were first mentioned in the Introduction.

P2 - all differences

Conclusion
