Comparing the Two Articles
1. What do they have in common with each other?
Both of the articles inform the readers with great tips on things that might be overlooked. They also help prepare the reader to get ready for college and college applications.
2. What do the writers do which are similar?
Same: Both of the writers create bulleted lists that have information on what the bullet represents. They also both give information about scholarships and college applications. In both articles they use examples from real people.
Different: In the first article I read they didn't state any specific college names. In the second article they stated a few different colleges. The second article seems to be a little more positive in saying that you will get into college because you know those 5 things now.
