Paul Stoller and Charles Murray each discuss the issue of higher education as it relates to four year colleges, vocational school, and intellectualism. For this paper, you will compare the arguments of Stoller and Murray. Outline their different arguments, explaining where they contradict one another and identifying claims that are different but not directly contradictory. What are some for their reasons for this? Compare and contrast the two writers' discussions of the issue of higher education.
In your intro, introduce the two authors, their backgrounds, the titles of their articles, and the topic they discuss. Describe how the authors organize their texts (possibly in an additional paragraph).
In your first then second internal paragraph(s), present Stoller's then Murray's claim and at least two issues/reasons that the author discusses. Provide specific evidence from the reading to support your comments.
In two or three additional paragraphs, compare/contrast the issues/reasons that each author mentions, including the differences between the problems and the ways they are presented in the text. you can mention not only claims and evidence, but audience(s), purpose(s), and writer's tone.
Conclude with a paragraph in which you sum the similarities and differences between the two texts.
