Remember, to compare is to point outsimilarities. To contrast is to point outdifferences.

When you compare or contrast youneed to come to some conclusion.

It is not just enough to say, “these two are

similar” or “these are different”. There must be a SO WHAT!!??



If you like pizza, you can either go toEscape from New York or Flying Piepizza, but Flying Pie will provide you

with a much better atmosphere. CONTRAST

My cousin Bill and my brother Kyle areboth so stubborn they can’t get along.COMPARISON



LIMIT THE TOPIC

AVOID THE OBVIOUS

MAKE YOUR POINT IN THE TOPICSENTENCE

DO NOT ANNOUNCE

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FOCUSMAKE SURE YOU COVER BOTH

SUBJECTS



THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO ORGANIZE YOUR COMPARISON / CONTRAST ESSAYSUBJECT-By-SUBJECT

POINT-By-POINT



In the subject by subjectpattern, you support andexplain your topic sentence byfirst writing all of your details

on one subject and thenwriting all of your details onthe other subject. These pointsmust be made in the sameorder.

TS: Once I realized that my brother and my

mother are very alike intemperament, I realized why they don’t get along.

Subject 1) about Brother Details and examples

Subject 2) about Mother Details and examples



It would make sense then thatin a point by point comparisonor contrast you would supportand explain your topic

sentence by discussing eachpoint of comparison orcontrast, switching back andforth between your subjects.

TS: Once I realized that my brother and my mother are very alike in temperament, I realized why they don’t get along.

My brother Kyle is a hot-temperedperson, and it is easy for him tolose control of his temper. Mymother shares Kyle’s quicktemper, anything can provoke her.Once…

When my brother Kyle gets mad,he often says things he regrets.Similarly, my mother is known forthe unkind things she will say inanger….



THESIS: Poe often uses the differentpoints of view in his short stories forvarying reasons. He could have used

third person to tell the story of “TheCask of Amontillado” but the firstperson perspective intensifies the

mood.Or draws the reader in.

Or reveals the narrators wicked mind.
