The outline should include a complete bio of each editorial in addition to the points you are comparing and cantrasting. Why you chose these two articles. I.e. (how the two articles will help and or support you with your original argument). Good Luck
An argument does not have to controversial: it just refers to someone taking a stand, arguing for or against something. It does not have to be in opposition to other people's ideas either.
So now we have two options left:
writing that takes a specific perspective
and
<span>writing to explain a writers ideas on a topic
I find both of them not perfect: I would rather say that an argument is a claim, or a statement, that needs to be supported. But from the two I think the better one is </span><span>writing to explain a writers ideas on a topic (this is the best answer I think) since a perspective can mean a "point of view" and this not what an argument is.</span>
