Compare and Contrast:
- -enable someone to show why he prefers one thing over another
- -2 purposes: showing each of 2 subjects distinctly by considering both, and choosing between two things
- -in comparison, must have something significant in common, analogies can be helpful (have a valid reason for bringing things together)
- -outline of compare/contrast will help an essay
- -can arrange subject by subject, point by point
- -use transitions and don't keep changing you mind about something you favor within an essay
