Comparison and Contrast
Chapter 13
In this chapter, four writers use compare and contrast organization. Comparing and Contrasting is a writing and thinking strategy. Compare and contrast essays are the other big essay types in academic writing. These essays will follow a specific question and are fairly easy to complete. There are several ways to write this type of essay. The most important thing to remember is structure. Many wonderful essays fall victim to the woes of bad structure, making any ingenuity to fall by the wayside.
You probably use comparison all the time. Maybe you want to buy some candy, so you go to the store and look at all of the candy that is available
You can't buy all the candy, so you have to narrow down your choices you compare and contrast the different kinds of candy so that you can make your decision.
In comparison and contrast, transition words tell a reader that the writer is changing from talking about one item to the other.
Transitional words and phrases help make a paper smoother and more coherent by showing the reader the connections between the ideas that are being presented.
