Comparing and Contrasting Two Subjects of Your Choice

Compare or contrast two or three primary points about the two subjects you choose to write about.

Remember that the two subjects you choose should have a meaningful connection so that you can draw comparisons or contrasts between the two. Your thesis should convey the main idea and clearly articulate what two topics you are comparing and contrasting. Because you are writing in the informative mode, you should use objective language. Remember that you are not trying to persuade or convince the audience that one thing is better or worse than the other; you are instead informing the reader about the similarities or differences between the two subjects in an objective manner.
