Synthesis Essay Description For this essay, however, you’ll engage with two texts involving a relevant contemporary problem or question – this time one with ethical implications. You’ll summarize and analyze the authors’ purposes and main ideas, create connections between the two texts, e.g. tone or rhetorical strategies, and then synthesize them into a new perspective of your own. In fact, the foundation for thoughtful and effective research begins with demonstrating your awareness of a larger conversation and beginning to claim your own place in it. Successful essays will accomplish the following: 1. Address a synthesis question and make a claim (thesis) about the readings. 2. Summarize and analyze the views of two writers on this question. 3. Show you have wrestled with different perspectives and articulated your own new view of the question. Consider not only how you’d speak back to these texts but how they’re speaking with each other and what ideas, questions, or conclusions that conversation leaves in your mind. Consider the synthesis question as both the starting point and the frame for your discussion of the two texts.
