No I, you, etc CLRC Writing Center Writing a Compare/Contrast Essay As always, the instructor and the assignment sheet provide the definitive expectations and requirements for any essay. Here is some general information about the organization for this type of essay: • A comparison essay notes either similarities, or similarities and differences. • A contrast essay notes only differences. • The comparison or contrast should make a point or serve a purpose. Often such essays do one of the following: ƒ Clarify something unknown or not well understood. ƒ Lead to a fresh insight or new way of viewing something. ƒ Bring one or both of the subjects into sharper focus. ƒ Show that one subject is better than the other. • The thesis can present the subjects and indicate whether they will be compared, contrasted, or both. • The same points should be discussed for both subjects; it is not necessary, however to give both subjects the same degree of development. • Some common organizational structures include: (see note below) • ƒ Block method (subject by subject) ƒ Point by point ƒ Comparisons followed by contrasts (or the reverse) Use detailed topic sentences and the following connecting words to make the relationship between your subjects clear to your reader: Connectors That Show Comparison (Similarities) ƒ In additon ƒ Correspondingly ƒ Compared to ƒ Similarly ƒ Just as ƒ As well as ƒ Likewise ƒ Same as ƒ At the same time Connectors That Show Contrast (Differences) ƒ However ƒ On the contrary ƒ On the other hand ƒ Even though ƒ In contrast ƒ Although ƒ Unlike ƒ Conversely ƒ Meanwhile See the other side of this page of a detailed example for both the Block Method and the Pointby-Point method.

(Example:details of living in SB might include high cost of living, beach community, good schools, etc. Less effective qualities: not nice place, cool hangouts.) 2. Circle the most important qualities in each list and match at least three opposites from one circle to another. ________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ After completing steps 1-3, list the three categories or aspects that both items share: 1. 2. 3. 3.
