Compare/Contrast Essay

Comparison or Contrast Essay: is an essay in which you either compare (show similarities) something or contrast (show differences) something. Comparison and contrast can be used in both fiction and nonfiction.

There are TWO classic organizational patterns used in a comparison OR contrast essay: Block Arrangement-the author describes the first idea, event, situation, or character completely. He then describes the second and compares or contrasts it with the first. Point-by-Point-the author takes one point from each idea, event, situation, or character and compares or contrasts them directly. He/she then compares or contrasts a second point, then a third, and so on.
