How is your life like a puzzle?

To contrast and compare is to distinguish how an object or subject are similar and also to show how they are different. The methods I chose for this topic was to Brainstorm and free write. Comparing life to a puzzle was quite interesting due to the fact that life and puzzles are very similar in many different ways, and the same for the differences. Puzzles come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. While the people who live these lives are many different shapes, sizes, and colors, but each carry their own image. I chose this topic because of the similarities they share and there aren’t many differences. I will use resources from my own experiences, the internet, and also ask others of their opinion on this matter.

I feel like my life is a puzzle but only with a million pieces, and as humans we don’t know everything but we try to piece bits of information together to get a clearer picture. Puzzles are not that different except with a puzzle you can’t force the pieces together to form the image it has to be correct or else the puzzle would be ruined and it wouldn’t be complete, but in life we can create the puzzle pieces from obstacles, questions, and personal situations; and we can sometimes alter them to fit the way we would like to form an outcome plus it doesn’t matter how big or small life will find a way to reverse the resistance. I think life is different from a puzzle because I look at life we are put together the wrong way causing us to figure with pieces go where with no sense of direction unlike a puzzle it has grooves and shaped edges for guidance.
