Now choose the option you think would make the strongest essay. Expand your best three ideas by adding evidence from the book and explaining what each contrast reveals.
My chosen contrast:
What is a third difference?
What is one important difference?
Differences between Mitch and Morrie
Lorem ipsum dolor sit
evidence from the book what this reveals
evidence from the book what this reveals
What is another important difference?
evidence from the book what this reveals
evidence from the book what this reveals
evidence from the book what this reveals
Lorem ipsum dolor sit
evidence from the book what this reveals

Now use your strongest ideas to write a working thesis. Your thesis should not simply say that two things are different. It should make a clear point about what the contrast reveals and why it matters.
My tentative thesis statement:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit
Although Mitch is successful in the modern world, Morrie has reached self fullfillment by building a philosophy that prioritizes love and connection rather than materialism, which makes him happier than Mitch could ever be.
