What was the assignment? This seems like a fairly straightforward compare-and-contrast between two works, but I wonder how well it fits the question. My only real criticism of this paper is that its thesis ("Both works follow the heroic structure") isn't particularly profound. You could find hundreds or thousands of works that follow a similar arc--see Jos. Campbell, The Hero with A Thousand Faces.
My Sophomore year I wrote a paper comparing the narrative structure of The Things They Carried to John Barth's Lost in the Funhouse. Both are novels masquerading as books of short stories. They're connected stories--almost a story cycle, in both cases, but both eject out of the cycle on a tangent. I think I got a B on that, come to think of it...
