Not Understanding the Compare/Contrast Paper

<p>I have to write a paper for my English class (college course) and I’m not sure how to write this paper. I know how to write a compare and contrast paper but the format I’ve been given for this paper, I find unusual. From what it seems I need to take the work of an author (I chose Orwell’s Animal Farm) and compare/contrast how a critic’s view of that book is affected based upon whether or not they used a biographical perspective when writing their analysis. I need to use 4-6 scholarly sources for this paper too. </p>

<p>How should I setup the paragraphs for this paper? What should be included in each paragraph? How each critic analyzed that work or more so “by using a biography, the critic writes in a … way”? Where do I go to find journals showing some that do use the author</p>
