Comparison/Contrast

I am most intrigued to write an essay in the comparison/contrast form. I found a website that has 4 simple rules to follow when writing this style. They are:

1. 1st Compare, then contrast (or vice versa).
2. 1st do one idea, then do the other.
3. Write only about the comparable and contrastable elements of each idea.
4. Only compare or only contrast.

Each of these rules is broken down in detail on this website. Click here if you are interested to learn more about this style.

  1. Mike-
    I like that you put the rules on your blog to give people an easy understanding. Then you gave them the website to go to for more info. I kind of did the same thing, but I probably like it because I did it too. I also like compare and contrast. I like to read and write Compare/contrast. One thing I didn't know about compare and contrast is that you can only compare or only contrast which is part of those rules that you posted. Thanks!
