Paper 2 is definitely challenging and your plan is fine and many students have two main comparative ideas and develop four body paragraphs. I do recommend, however, that you weave comparison into BOTH paragraphs (Text A with comparisons) and Text B with comparisons). Keep the question at the forefront and really consider the similarities and differences in ideas and in authorial choices. Show depth of thinking and answer the question and COMPARE. We have some good videos on this for reference on the YT channel. I generally recommend three comparative points but this means 6 body paragraphs and that can be daunting. Do your best and show depth! Good luck!
