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. If three or more items are being compared, the corresponding superlative needs to be used instead. 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", 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, as in "Our new house is larger than the old one", "There is less water in Saudi Arabia than in the United States", "There are fewer people in Canada than in California."

A lot depends on the thesis statement. If you can come up with a handy thesis statement, that may make organizing the essay easier. For example, if you say "A and B were alike in many ways. They both (whatever) and they both (whatever). Yet they differed as well in three principle ways. (<-- thesis statement). And it was these differences that ended up causing their ultimately different fates. (<-- early clue to conclusion) Then you start like this: One of the principle ways that A differed from B is that A did this and that while B did the opposite. On page 38 we read that A (whatever), whereas on p 76 we see B refusing to do it.
