in your essay, you must argue for a position or viewpoint, rather than just demonstrate comparative points between the texts as was the case for your arguments in the Portfolio Tasks. However, it cannot be just the expression of an opinion but must be a justified judgement which follows from your argument. And it has to be backed up by evidence; which means for us, in this unit, that you have to show, as always, a close, accurate reading of the texts.
