Comparison And Contrast Essay Topics
Chapter 16, Comparison and Contrast, explains the purpose and functions of comparison and/or
contrast essays as well as how to use them in students' essays. Comparison and contrast means
finding similarities, differences, or both. Comparison and contrast essays commonly have three
purposes. First, they are important in expressing ideas. For example, I want to talk about my ideas
about hip–hop and rap music so I compare and contrast them. The second purpose is to inform
people. I may want to tell the audience that there are many similarities in two different religions.
Third, I can persuade people through comparing and contrasting two things. For instance, I will
argue that reading e–books is better than printed books by comparing and contrasting

Writing and Compare-and-contrast Essays
Compare and Contrast
This type of writing assignment is common. On a standardized test, you may be asked to analyze
literature, evaluate ideas, or make a judgment and explain your reasons.
In responding to these types of prompts, you often will compare and contrast characters, concepts,
or choices. You will be asked to identify similarities and differences, which are the key to

There are ways to organize your thoughts about compare–and–contrast topics, which will help you

Compare And Contrast Two Friends
We all have friends that are alike or different from each other. My friend Nicole and Amy are also
friends. Both of them are alike in some ways, but at the same time unlike from each other. For
example, they both dress to their comfort, but the clothes they choose to wear are different. They
both have similar taste in music and television shows. However, Nicole and Amy are more
different than alike. Nicole and Amy have different appearance and style. Nicole is five feet and
two inches with medium brown wavy hair that is shoulder length. She has big eyes and also
freckles on her face. Nicole tends to dress very casually. For an instant, she would wear jean with a
graphic tee or a blouse and navy blue classic vans. She occasionally keeps up with the latest fashion

Nicole's personality is super shy and, quiet when it comes to new people or people she rarely

Amy was never in any a team sport. However, she plays tennis with her cousins for fun. Amy is
really sociable and blunt at the same time. I remember a time during lunch there was a table across
from us were talking super loud and she shout "shut up". Amy is not afraid to speak her mind while
Nicole is more shy and quiet. Nicole cannot stand watching gory, horror and supernatural movie. For
example, during summer, our friend, Julie, invited Nicole, Amy, and Iwatch Green Inferno. Nicole
did not want to come along due to the fact that when she watched the trailer of that movie she
found it super gory and disgusting. However, Amy did not find that trailer gory and disgusting and

Compare and Contrast Two Short Stories
Compare and Contrast Two Short Stories––
Landlady by Roald Dahl and Chemistry by Graham Swift
There are lots of great short stories out there, but in my opinion, both 'Chemistry' by Graham Swift
and 'The Landlady' by Roald Dahl are two of the most unique and effective stories. They share both
similarities and differences throughout. Comparing and contrasting the way the authors use their
inimitable writing style to achieve their intentions in the story will give us more idea how these
stories are alike and distinct.
In a way, these two stories are similar because both the authors had carefully chosen the words
...show more content...
In the beginning , Billy thought the landlady was 'terribly nice',which he was quite grateful to have
such a nice landlady who give him a well–appointed service, but as the conversations go on, Billy
was then frightened by her weird and creepy contents, he 'sat there staring straight ahead of him into
the far corner of the room, biting his lower lip.' tells the readers that he's begin to frightened and
suspect landlady, foreshadowing the readers that she might be doing something that couldn't be
trusted by Billy.
In another way, these two stories are different because the authors have been using different
perspective when narrating the story. In 'Chemistry', author's written the story in the word of narrator,
mixing both the perspective of adult and young boy's. Line" My father's death was a far less
remote event than my grandfather's but no more explicable, I was only seven." can be a good
example. Almost the whole story was written in past tense, added to the effect of recalling. He's
shown a grown up man recalling memories when he was back in 7–10 years old. This kind of
writing style makes readers felt more personal, because the subject is 'I', when reading out the
story, readers will feel like they're experiencing the narrators' life, as if they are the narrator. Also,
another interesting fact about this kind of writing style is that if I were to look at the same events in
other character's perspective, it might be another whole different story because

I gained very little habitual ways of dealing with conflict from my parents. One thing I did gain
from my parents is to always express how you feel if something is bothering you. My parents
always used the conflict response "voice" as illustrated in our book. "Voice deals directly with the
problem and is potentially the most active constructive response (Wood, p. 145)". I believe my
parents used voice in the wrong way sometimes. Our book states, "Voice needs to embody good
communication skills and cultivate supportive climates (Wood, p. 145)". My parents always used

Essay about Renting Versus Buying
Buying a home can be an exciting experience for anyone. However, in some cases you just might
be better off continuing to rent your home. There are many advantages to buying a home. However,
it is not for everyone and buying varies from individual to individual. Currently more people are
leaning towards renting but this could change in the near future.
When someone makes the decision to buy or rent a home they must consider the advantages and
disadvantages of each. In buying a home the primary advantage is that you actually own it. You
can do whatever you want with it. Also, you are building equity as the years go by. "People today
have problems saving for their future" (CNN Money, 2014). However, when they buy a home, the

You might be better off paying a reasonable amount for rent and saving your money when buying
seems more logical. Also, it depends on lifestyle preferences. Some people may not want to do all
the work that comes along with owning a home. As of right now many people are leaning towards
renting. This is because the market is going down. Some don't want to commit to a mortgage if
when they go to sell they can't find any buyers.
It is likely that the renting trend will decline and buying will increase in the future but it is hard to
say when. However, "if rent keeps rising and prices keep falling, fearful buyers could slowly
become bargain hunters." (Business Week, 2014). I feel that people will eventually get tired of
spending there money on rent and will want to invest more in there future. I don't think that the real
estate market will ever be a boom again. I believe that people have learned that just because
interest rates are low doesn't mean they can financially take on a mortgage. Overall, buying a
house is a big decision and should be looked at carefully. You should look at the advantages and
disadvantages of each and decide what is best for you in your life. There is no way to pin point if
buying or renting is best for anyone. Currently many prefer to rent their homes. However, as rent
rise, a majority may soon change their minds.

How to Write a Compare and Contrast Essay
Instructions of How to Write a Compare and Contrast Essay
1
First look at the items you are supposed to compare and contrast. Do you understand them? If you
are writing an essay outside of class, look them up. Start with your text book but also look at your
notes from class, and even go and check them out at Wikipedia. If you are taking a test, and can't
look things up, pause and think over what these things mean. The next two steps will help you
remember.
2
Make a list of ways the two items are the same. This is the "compare" part of a compare and contrast
essay. (For an in class essay, it will be good if you can bring in extra paper. If you can't, you can
make some notes on the back of your blue book.)

If you feel they are more different than the same, start by comparing the similarities.
7
Now get to your point of view. If you are writing a classic "five paragraph essay" you may want to
spend a whole paragraph pointing out what is wrong with the arguments you made for the other
side. If don't have to meet a specific number of paragraphs, you can just get straight to supporting
your own point of view. Look at your list items that support you, and write about them all, and why
they are important.
8
With compare and contrast essays, the conclusion will be a lot like the introduction. You summarize
what you just said. You may find that some points came up in writing that you hadn't put in your
intro. This is a good time to refer back to those.
9
If this is not an in–class essay test, you should try to set the essay aside after you finish, so you can
go back later with your mind fresh. You may come up with a few other items you want to talk about
on your compare or contrast list. You may come up with a better way to write your introduction or
conclusion.
If you can master how to write compare and contrast essays, you will find that you can use that form
for a lot of other essays when the instructor doesn't give you a format.

Definition: In this kind of essay, the aim is to show the similarities and differences of two items, two
people, two countries, or how something or someone has changed. When comparing two things, we
focus more on the similarities though we may mention the differences shortly. When contrasting two
things, we point out the differences between them. The most important point to consider while
planning a comparison and contrast essay is choosing comparable items. e.g. Middle East Technical
University and Bogazici University. We have to make sure that these two items have enough points
to be compared. After writing the comparable points as a list, location, size, reputation, ...show more

similarity is the executive branches that exists in both forms of government. While the president is

First, we will start with President Donald Trump's State of the Union. President Trump focuses on
a number of issue ranging from tax reform to national security. A major differentiation between
his speech and Governor Abbott's is the issue of health care. He believes that healthcare needs to
be more affordable and still give citizens the ability to choose their doctors. He plans to resolve the
issue my repealing and replacing Obamacare. The second major issue addressed was national
security. Trump states that illegal immigration is a major problem and should be fixed by moving
on to a merit–based immigration system. This basically means that no one can enter the country
unless they are already able to support their families. Also, by moving to a merit–based immigration
system, Trump believes that millions of jobs will be created and protected, thus bringing down the
unemployment rate. Lastly, Trump focuses on the state of the economy. Trump suggests tax reform
and redistribution as being the sole solution to the United States national debt issues. He proposes a
tax cut for both corporations and the middle class while also raising taxes on foreign trade. Trump
also asked for a trillion dollars from both public and private capital goes towards rebuilding America's
infrastructure. While President Trump focuses on the health care and the economy, Governor Abbott

The setting of a story is the time and place in which the story takes place. The author may include
a specific date or time period, or leave it up to the reader to determine a time period by suggesting
certain events. The author may choose to give specific examples and clues as to where the story
takes place or may suggest certain things to clue the reader to where the story is taking place. The
theme of a piece of fiction is its controlling idea or its central insight. It is the unifying
generalization about life stated or implied by the story. The theme of a story supports a view of life

This aids in revealing the theme because you get to hear what goes through her mind, you
understand her reactions to what she sees, and to what Miss Moore shows and tells them.
Alice Walker's Everyday Use takes place in rural Georgia. It was written during the black power
movement, a time period when blacks rejected the change through peace doctrine that Martin Luther
King Jr. preached to his people. During this movement blacks would commonly dress in African
dress, and change there last name in hopes to connect to their past heritage and forget what the white
man "forced" upon them. The theme could be described as: a person connects to there past through
many different ways, in hopes to better their future. The setting helps reveal this because Georgia
obviously has a large black population and this movement stemmed from Georgia and Alabama.
Along this those things, references to the neighbors down the road by the mother in the story help
shape the theme intended by the author.
Everyday Use is told in first person point of view, this helps to amplify the theme by letting you
into the narrators mind, and you understand what she feels and how she is desperately wants to find

The Compare/ Contrast Essay First, let's explain compare and contrast: When we compare, we
show our readers a subject's similarities. When we contrast, we show our readers a subject's
differences. Compare and Contrast essays are learning–process essays. You learn about your subject
as you gather and organize information. This type of essay takes a bit of organization, and it's this
organizational process, this gathering of facts, that helps you learn as you go. You will create lists
of qualities or traits that each of your subjects has, and as you do this, you will discover insights to
your subject that, at first glance, you may not have realized were there. It's like buying a new shirt.

When comparing cultures, one must form a definition of what culture is. Culture can be easily
defined as the social behavior and normality's found in human societies. It can also be easily made
up of a composed arrangement of educated conduct and thought designs. Culture is a sorted out
framework since it includes many parts. Throughout the world, there are many cultures that are
both very different and also very similar. "Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how
we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at table,
how we greet visitors, how we behave and one million other things." (Cristina De Rossi.)...show

In people, culture must be learned through experiences. For most countries, learned behaviors are
passed down from one generation to the next. The purpose behind this is on the grounds that
culture isn 't natural like in creatures because they are not conceived with it. People will begin to

Compare And Contrast Traditional Teaching Styles
No teachers are similar as well as no students learn in the same way. Every teacher has their own
unique teaching style which is based on their educational philosophy, their classroom's demographic,
what subject area they teach, and the school's mission statement. Up until now, teachers are looking
for a system that will engage students in the educational process and will develop the students'
critical thinking skills. Moreover, teachers want the classroom to be in order and in control, but they
also want their students to appreciate the learning procedure. These teaching styles can be divided
into two approaches – the teacher–centered and learner–centered.
Traditional teaching styles use teacher–centered approach. It includes a teacher that stands at the
front and tells students step by step instructions. The teacher decides what is learned, when it is
learned, how it is learned, and how learning is evaluated. In a nutshell, the teacher is an information
giver and evaluator. The students are just there to learn through lessons and direct instructions. Their
attention is mainly focused on passing tests, assessments, and evaluations.
Through the years, many successful people have came from the traditional setting. The earliest

Though each religion is unique, some religions have several traits in common. For example, many
religions are polytheistic, meaning that there are many gods. But, some religions only believe in one
god, meaning that the religion is monotheistic. The religions also have many things that differ with
each other, like the sacred text, symbol, and traditions. These qualities are what make each religion
different and special.
Each religion has its own set of 'rules' or teachings that the followers practice. In Christianity, there

Despite that, Confucianism continues to have many followers. Two religions that are more
related than any other religions are Christianity and Judaism. Both religions have similar beliefs.
They also both believe in God and Jesus. This is where there is a difference: Christians believe
that Jesus is the Messiah and died to save its followers from sin. Jews believe that Jesus is only a
prophet, and the Messiah has not yet arrived. Another similarity is the sacred site. Jerusalem is a
sacred city for three religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In addition to Jerusalem, Islamic
people travel to Mecca and the city of Medina to pray as well. Another important site for Christians
is Bethlehem–the birthplace of Jesus.
Karma is a belief that Buddhists, Hindus, and Christians believe in. Karma is simply "what goes
around, comes around". However, Buddhists and Hindus believe that karma occurs after
reincarnation in the next life. Christians believe that karma can take place in the current life as well.
Buddhism and Hinduism also believe in dharma, which are the ethics and duties.

Ways To Start A Compare And Contrast Essay

  • 1. Comparison And Contrast Essay Topics Chapter 16, Comparison and Contrast, explains the purpose and functions of comparison and/or contrast essays as well as how to use them in students' essays. Comparison and contrast means finding similarities, differences, or both. Comparison and contrast essays commonly have three purposes. First, they are important in expressing ideas. For example, I want to talk about my ideas about hip–hop and rap music so I compare and contrast them. The second purpose is to inform people. I may want to tell the audience that there are many similarities in two different religions. Third, I can persuade people through comparing and contrasting two things. For instance, I will argue that reading e–books is better than printed books by comparing and contrasting Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Writing and Compare-and-contrast Essays Compare and Contrast This type of writing assignment is common. On a standardized test, you may be asked to analyze literature, evaluate ideas, or make a judgment and explain your reasons. In responding to these types of prompts, you often will compare and contrast characters, concepts, or choices. You will be asked to identify similarities and differences, which are the key to compare–and–contrast essays. There are ways to organize your thoughts about compare–and–contrast topics, which will help you write thoughtful and balanced essays. Compare–and–Contrast Essays First, you will learn how to write a compare–and–contrast essay When you compare, you show how two or more things are alike.

Gathering Details The next step in preparing your compare–and–contrast essay is to gather details, descriptions, and examples to provide a clear understanding of the subjects being compared.

Both of them are alike in some ways, but at the same time unlike from each other. For example, they both dress to their comfort, but the clothes they choose to wear are different. They both have similar taste in music and television shows. However, Nicole and Amy are more different than alike. Nicole and Amy have different appearance and style. Nicole is five feet and two inches with medium brown wavy hair that is shoulder length. She has big eyes and also freckles on her face. Nicole tends to dress very casually. For an instant, she would wear jean with a graphic tee or a blouse and navy blue classic vans. She occasionally keeps up with the latest fashion trend. On the other hand, Amy is just 5 feet tall with...show more content... Nicole's personality is super shy and, quiet when it comes to new people or people she rarely talks to. However, when it comes to people she likes and enjoys talking to, she is a social butterfly. Amy was never in any a team sport. However, she plays tennis with her cousins for fun. Amy is really sociable and blunt at the same time. I remember a time during lunch there was a table across from us were talking super loud and she shout "shut up". Amy is not afraid to speak her mind while Nicole is more shy and quiet. Nicole cannot stand watching gory, horror and supernatural movie. For example, during summer, our friend, Julie, invited Nicole, Amy, and Iwatch Green Inferno. Nicole did not want to come along due to the fact that when she watched the trailer of that movie she found it super gory and disgusting. However, Amy did not find that trailer gory and disgusting and came long to watch the movie with us. Amy enjoys watching horror or supernatural movie or shows. For example, during the month of October, there was a movie call Crimson Peak and Amy wanted to watch it while Nicole did not want Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Compare and Contrast Two Short Stories Compare and Contrast Two Short Stories–– Landlady by Roald Dahl and Chemistry by Graham Swift There are lots of great short stories out there, but in my opinion, both 'Chemistry' by Graham Swift and 'The Landlady' by Roald Dahl are two of the most unique and effective stories. They share both similarities and differences throughout. Comparing and contrasting the way the authors use their inimitable writing style to achieve their intentions in the story will give us more idea how these stories are alike and distinct. In a way, these two stories are similar because both the authors had carefully chosen the words ...show more content... In the beginning , Billy thought the landlady was 'terribly nice',which he was quite grateful to have such a nice landlady who give him a well–appointed service, but as the conversations go on, Billy was then frightened by her weird and creepy contents, he 'sat there staring straight ahead of him into the far corner of the room, biting his lower lip.' tells the readers that he's begin to frightened and suspect landlady, foreshadowing the readers that she might be doing something that couldn't be trusted by Billy. In another way, these two stories are different because the authors have been using different perspective when narrating the story. In 'Chemistry', author's written the story in the word of narrator, mixing both the perspective of adult and young boy's. Line" My father's death was a far less remote event than my grandfather's but no more explicable, I was only seven." can be a good example. Almost the whole story was written in past tense, added to the effect of recalling. He's shown a grown up man recalling memories when he was back in 7–10 years old. This kind of writing style makes readers felt more personal, because the subject is 'I', when reading out the story, readers will feel like they're experiencing the narrators' life, as if they are the narrator. Also, another interesting fact about this kind of writing style is that if I were to look at the same events in other character's perspective, it might be another whole different story because Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. I gained very little habitual ways of dealing with conflict from my parents. One thing I did gain from my parents is to always express how you feel if something is bothering you. My parents always used the conflict response "voice" as illustrated in our book. "Voice deals directly with the problem and is potentially the most active constructive response (Wood, p. 145)". I believe my parents used voice in the wrong way sometimes. Our book states, "Voice needs to embody good communication skills and cultivate supportive climates (Wood, p. 145)". My parents always used you–language that attributed attentions to the other individuals and not themselves (Wood, p.85).

A time when I could have been graceful but chose to, was when my mom and I got into an argument. I chose not to be graceful because I felt like it wasn't my fault.

  • 6. Essay about Renting Versus Buying Buying a home can be an exciting experience for anyone. However, in some cases you just might be better off continuing to rent your home. There are many advantages to buying a home. However, it is not for everyone and buying varies from individual to individual. Currently more people are leaning towards renting but this could change in the near future. When someone makes the decision to buy or rent a home they must consider the advantages and disadvantages of each. In buying a home the primary advantage is that you actually own it. You can do whatever you want with it. Also, you are building equity as the years go by. "People today have problems saving for their future" (CNN Money, 2014). However, when they buy a home, the ...show more content... You might be better off paying a reasonable amount for rent and saving your money when buying seems more logical. Also, it depends on lifestyle preferences. Some people may not want to do all the work that comes along with owning a home. As of right now many people are leaning towards renting. This is because the market is going down. Some don't want to commit to a mortgage if when they go to sell they can't find any buyers. It is likely that the renting trend will decline and buying will increase in the future but it is hard to say when. However, "if rent keeps rising and prices keep falling, fearful buyers could slowly become bargain hunters." (Business Week, 2014). I feel that people will eventually get tired of spending there money on rent and will want to invest more in there future. I don't think that the real estate market will ever be a boom again. I believe that people have learned that just because interest rates are low doesn't mean they can financially take on a mortgage. Overall, buying a house is a big decision and should be looked at carefully. You should look at the advantages and disadvantages of each and decide what is best for you in your life. There is no way to pin point if buying or renting is best for anyone. Currently many prefer to rent their homes. However, as rent rise, a majority may soon change their minds.

If you are writing an essay outside of class, look them up. Start with your text book but also look at your notes from class, and even go and check them out at Wikipedia.

If you feel they are more different than the same, start by comparing the similarities. 7 Now get to your point of view. If you are writing a classic "five paragraph essay" you may want to spend a whole paragraph pointing out what is wrong with the arguments you made for the other side. If don't have to meet a specific number of paragraphs, you can just get straight to supporting your own point of view. Look at your list items that support you, and write about them all, and why they are important. 8 With compare and contrast essays, the conclusion will be a lot like the introduction. You summarize what you just said. You may find that some points came up in writing that you hadn't put in your intro. This is a good time to refer back to those. 9 If this is not an in–class essay test, you should try to set the essay aside after you finish, so you can go back later with your mind fresh. You may come up with a few other items you want to talk about on your compare or contrast list. You may come up with a better way to write your introduction or conclusion. If you can master how to write compare and contrast essays, you will find that you can use that form for a lot of other essays when the instructor doesn't give you a format.

Comparison and Contrast Essay COMPARISON AND CONTRAST ESSAY Comparison and Contrast Essay Definition: In this kind of essay, the aim is to show the similarities and differences of two items, two people, two countries, or how something or someone has changed. When comparing two things, we focus more on the similarities though we may mention the differences shortly. When contrasting two things, we point out the differences between them. The most important point to consider while planning a comparison and contrast essay is choosing comparable items. e.g. Middle East Technical University and Bogazici University. We have to make sure that these two items have enough points to be compared. After writing the comparable points as a list, location, size, reputation, ...show more content...

Despite their differences, the two have a variety of similarities that range from how they are organized to the types of policies each decides to pass. A major similarity is the executive branches that exists in both forms of government. While the president is the head of the executive branch for the federal government, in Texas the governor plays the same role as the president would.

President Trump focuses on a number of issue ranging from tax reform to national security. A major differentiation between his speech and Governor Abbott's is the issue of health care. He believes that healthcare needs to be more affordable and still give citizens the ability to choose their doctors. He plans to resolve the issue my repealing and replacing Obamacare. The second major issue addressed was national security. Trump states that illegal immigration is a major problem and should be fixed by moving on to a merit–based immigration system. This basically means that no one can enter the country unless they are already able to support their families. Also, by moving to a merit–based immigration system, Trump believes that millions of jobs will be created and protected, thus bringing down the unemployment rate. Lastly, Trump focuses on the state of the economy. Trump suggests tax reform and redistribution as being the sole solution to the United States national debt issues. He proposes a tax cut for both corporations and the middle class while also raising taxes on foreign trade.
