This time we studied the comparison and contrast essay. The professor explained the structure and characteristics of this specific type of essay and the difference between contrasting and comparing.
-Contrast: differences
-Compare: similarities
We talked about the 2 different methods that can be used to write this type of essay; block and alternating style. Actually, he recommended using the second method.
He also emphasizes the importance of the Venn diagram at the beginning of a comparison and contrast essay.
Obviously, the assignment was to write a compare or contrast essay for the next week. I chose the contrast side and to use the alternating style. At first, it was kind of stressful to decided the 2 aspects to talk about and the specific differences between them. Anyway, I think that it was not so difficult.
