Using comparatives and superlatives to effectively compare non-fiction texts

A great comparison analyses how the writers convey their ideas and perspectives of the events they are describing. It may use comparatives and superlatives to evaluate the texts against one another. Comparatives use either a 'more' prefix or '-er' suffix to directly compare two texts or ideas. Superlatives use a 'most' prefix or 'est' suffix to form conclusions about a text in comparison to others. Comparatives and superlatives let us explore the relationship between the texts instead of analysing each in isolation.
