From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In grammar, the comparative is the form of an adjective or adverb which denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another, and is used in this context with a subordinating conjunction, such as than, as...as, etc. StructureThe structure of a comparative in English consists normally of the positive form of the adjective or adverb, plus the suffix -er, or (in the case of polysyllabic words borrowed from foreign languages) the modifier "more" (or "less"/ "fewer") before the adjective or adverb. The form is usually completed by "than" and the noun which is being compared, e.g. "he is taller than his father is", or "the village is less picturesque than the town nearby". "Than" is used as a subordinating conjunction to introduce the second element of a comparative sentence while the first element expresses the difference ("our new house is larger than the old one"). There is less water in Saudi Arabia than there is in the United States; but however, there are fewer people in Canada than there are in California.

Each paragraph could be a discussion of the different similarities and differences. for example: if you were writing a paper comparing Macintosh apples and Granny Smith apples, your list would look like this: similarities between Macintosh apples and Granny Smith apples: -both have skin -both have a crunchy texture -both grow on trees -both have brown stems differences between Macintosh apples and Granny Smith apples: - Granny Smith apples are pretty round whereas Macintosh apples are more cylindrical - Granny Smith apples have more of a sour flavor while Macintosh apples are on the sweet side - Granny Smith apples tend to… [cont.] Answered by Lead Ebe T. - Sat Oct 18 04:39:54 2008 What could i talk about my comparative essay between Hamlet and The Catcher in the Rye?

Yes. You're allowed to explain and discuss any sort of plot events - in either book - as long as they help support the connection you're trying to make. Though, I would suggest you go a little deeper than just saying that both Hamlet and Holden lost family members, and go into how that loss influenced each of their actions and how they deal/dealt with situations.
