what kind of claim can be written for this kind of comparison essay?
the use of the warriors? However, this does look like a claim. There is no argument. the reason of why they are made?
*There seems to be something wrong with your posting–it keeps repeating itself.
*Are you writing on bronzes or terracotta figures?
*Your current claim is a plan: to find a claim, please choose two objects, then compare the similarities and differences. Then, look for recurring patterns or binaries (opposites).
*there seems to be an idea lurking in your point about the tomb art of the wealthy and the poor. But, I don’t know if we have enough information about bronzes to make such a claim. They seem to all come from royal tombs…
Thank you Ms Sujatha for pointing out my mistake, I have corrected the post already.
I am planning to do on Terracotta warriors.
So what I have to do now is to fix on 2 objects to continue proceed on the points?
So, it looks as if you will have 3 body paragraphs. But, at this point, we don’t know whether you will address each object separately (i.e. have two separate body paragraphs). You can arrange a comparison essay in many different ways. You could also do a paragraph on similarities and another on differences. Anyway, to find your claim, choose your two objects and start comparing.
