Compare and Contrast Essay

In our daily life, we always compare and contrast two or more things, for example, when buying a new dress  or a new car.
----------------------------------------------------------------
 In academic context,  when doing your assignments, you do the same thing such as
comparing
- two novels  
- two graphics or figures  
- two theories
- two movies
- two wars 

So, what is compare and contrast essay?

A compare and contrast essay describes the qualities of a subject or idea by discussing the similarities and differences.

A compare and contrast essay can be organized in two different ways:

1. By comparing and contratsing a number of issues point by point
                                                    
 or

2. By focusing first on the similarities and then the differences (block organization).
Here, we will focus on the second one which is called block organization.
However, before writing a compare and contrast essay, it is better to brainstorm and organize similarities & differences by using venn diagrams and tables.

    I drop a comment whenever I like a post on
    a website or if I have something to add to the conversation.

    It is a result of the sincerness displayed in the post I looked at.
    And on this article "Compare and Contrast Essay".

    I was moved enough to post a thought :-) I do have a few questions for you if it's okay. Is it just me or does it look like a few of the comments look like they are coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at additional online sites, I'd like to keep up with you.
    Could you make a list all of your community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
