Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"A compare and contrast essay consists of two main parts, surrounded by an introductory paragraph and a conclusion." Quote taken from http://essaytips.org/this-vs-that-the-compare-and-contrast-essay/

There are plenty of situations throughout K-12 and into college where you will be expected to write some form of a compare and contrast essay. This is one of the most basic kinds of essays and is expected of students to be able to do well and perform highly even from a young age. The important thing to remember when writing an essay like this is that you need to think about all the things that are similar and all the things that are different. Make lists and use that as a starting point for drafting out your outline. How things progress from there depend on the requirements of your essay and the subject matter but lists are the place to start and then to organize those lists into an outline will help you be successful in writing the essay that will get you that amazing grade that you want and need. Just put the work in! These types of essays are not as hard as they might seem when starting out!

When writing a compare/contrast essay, you will essentially be putting at least two items up next to one another and pointing out either the similarities or the differences. Usually, compare means to examine things that are alike, or at least seem so. Contrast means an examination of elements that are different, or at least seem so.
You could write a point by point compare/contrast essay. In this kind of essay, your writing would look at one element or item or concept of the two things compared and discuss each.
The other way to write the essay is the block method. With the block method, your essay devotes an entire section of the paper to one thing you are comparing. You could even write an entire chapter on the first item under consideration. Then, in the section that follows, your essay can describe the other item.
There is no one right way to do this essay. You can choose either style. One might work better for a given topic than another one.
