Essay Instructions: Comparison Essay
(Based on pages 261-265 in Skwire and Wiener??s text, College English)

Write an essay in which you compare and contrast the following 2 websites concerning the legalization of marijuana in the United States:

http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/publications/amer_know_marij/

http://www.mpp.org/USA/

This is not an argument essay but rather an essay that attempts to draw comparisons on issues such as health risks, addiction, association with violence and criminal behavior, medical use etc.
(What ever 3 topic you choose for your discussion in the essay)

YOU WILL NOT TAKE A SIDE ??FOR OR AGAINST.?? Instead you will choose 3 ways to discuss this issue, and in each support paragraph you will give one side??s perspective, then the other side??s perspective.

The PURPOSE of this essay is to INFORM the reader about BOTH sides of the issue of legalization. The reader can then make a choice based on the facts presented in your essay.

It is necessary to support your statements with statistical/factual evidence which can be found in these websites. Remember: at the end of a statistic or any statement that requires parenthetical documentation, be sure to write it properly.

DO NOT GIVE A WEB ADDRESS IN THE PARENTHESIS. Give just either(MPP) or (White House)






REQUIREMENTS: Answer each of the following parts
GIVE A CREATIVE TITLE!!!!

Paragraph One: In your introduction, discuss the following: Drug abuse in America has stimulated heated arguments on whether or not to make drugs like marijuana legal. Introduce the websites, talk about what their purpose is. (Hint: The White House site is to inform the public about the dangers of drug use in general, while the MPP is strictly about legalization for medical purposes). Each of these websites takes a different side of the issue of medical marijuana.

Paragraph 2, 3, and 4: Your Second area of the essay (take a few paragraphs to discuss):
Which websites makes its point more forcefully? Pick out a few areas of discussion such as addiction( this would be it??s own paragraph), or cost to society( another paragraph),or health risks( another paragraph) to talk about. Give several comparisons from the two websites to support your position. Whatever you pick out must be discussed on each website.

Paragraph 5, 6, 7: Your third area of the essay ( again, take a few paragraphs to discuss):
How do visual elements( pictures, graphs, charts) of each website contribute to each presentation? Give several examples of the visual elements you find in each website, describing them fully. Are they easy to understand? Is the language too scientific for most people? Colorful? Easy to navigate?






Paragraphs 8, 9, 10: The fourth area of the essay:
How reliable are these websites (MPP and DEA) as suppliers of accurate information? What sources did they use to get their information from? Give some information about when they were established, who staffs them (reliable, professional references?) and any specifics you can find about them. (Might find info in the link that says ??about us??.

Paragraph 11: Conclusion paragraph: Make a prediction about the issue of medical use of marijuana based on the facts you have read about. Do you think that the government will legalize marijuana for medical use? (Remember that it currently is legal in several states for this purpose only).

Do not use any ??I?? statements such as ??I think?? or ??I predict that?? or ??In my opinion???? Try to avoid the use of ??You?? as well.
