This document provides guidance on how to write a paragraph analyzing two passages by first establishing a controlling idea or thesis about a topic that is true of both passages. It advises the reader to use a t-chart to identify topics in each passage and find their common ground to form the controlling idea as the first sentence of the paragraph. The paragraph should then provide specific examples and details from both passages to support the controlling idea before concluding by refreshing the reader's memory of the key point.

In both The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf is the antagonist and is characterized as a predator. In The Three Little Pigs, the wolf destroys the three brothers shelters and tries to eat them. He obviously has malicious deeds in mind.
