Comparison and Contrast Essay

Step 1 Write a paper.

In a two-page (500-word) paper, construct a comparison and contrast essay that incorporates one of the following guidelines:

• Compare a book you've read to the movie adaptation (such as Lord of the Rings, A.I., or The Color Purple).
• Compare two different kinds of cancer. 
• Compare parenting styles.
• Choose your own topic. The topic should be approved by your instructor.

Consider what your topic has to offer your reader. Why should this comparison be interesting and/or relevant to your audience?
