How do you write a compare and contrast essay about The Plymouth colony and the Jamestown settlement and the founding of English America?
I will give you a suggestion to help you. Make a Venn diagram for your comparison and contrast of the colonies. With it laid out that way you can write the essay. I would also suggest you start with Jamestown since they came in 1607 and Plymouth happens in 1620. You could do a paragraph or two on Jamestown explaining why they came to Virginia and what happened. Then, move to Plymouth and explore how their colony was set up and why. Then, compare the two, and finally contrast them. I would end the essay with a summary putting it all together. A good opening line for your essay is " the purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast Jamestown and Plymouth " you can use this line with just about anything you write and it will help focus your thinking for your essay.
