精彩書摘

　　A comparison or contrast essay is an essay in which you either compare or contrast two things,people, or places. To compare is to emphasize the similarities; to contrast is to emphasize the differences. As you think about your own essay, you need to determine whether you want to focus on the similarities between the two items or their differences first. Sometimes, comparison and contrast appear together since the two items may be similar in some aspects but different in other aspects.
　　Very often, comparison and contrast deal with two things or items of the same category. But sometimes things or items share some similarities even though they are categorically different, which is a special type of comparison called an analogy. In this way, you can help the reader comprehend something unfamiliar and difficult by showing him/her something he or she is familiar with or something more easily understood.
