2 ways to organize your paper...
* “Lumping” involves discussing all details of one work, and then all details of the second work. This method is preferred in lengthy or broad comparisons to avoid zipping back and forth between the works too quickly. Remember to compare the two works by referring back to the first work when discussing the second. This will ensure that you don’t simply write two descriptions.
* “Splitting” involves discussing a particular point in both works before moving on to another point. This method is preferred in comparisons dealing with fine details instead of a broader look at each work as a whole. Remember to discuss each point evenly to maintain a clear, parallel structure.

Hey S,
For my paper I'll be comparing/constrasting Vladamir Tatlin's Monument to the Third International and El Lissitzky's Wolkenbügel
Let me know if these choices work.
