Compare Two Authors' Writing Styles on the Same Theme

Two writers tackle the same subject and somehow read nothing alike, and you want to know what is actually happening on the sentence level. This compares their styles across the choices that build a voice, from rhythm to diction to how they handle a scene. Name the two authors and the shared theme, and you get a close read of the difference.
