You are to write a two-page compare or contrast essay. Ensure you read Chapter 11 and complete the homework before attempting this task.
You may write a compare essay focusing on the similarities of two subjects or a contrast essay focusing on their differences. Your opinion about the two elements in question becomes your thesis statement; the body of the paper then shows why you arrived at that opinion.
Choose an appropriate pattern of organization (Block or Point-by-Point). Compare and contrast for a reason. Ask yourself, “What is the significant point want my readers to learn or understand from reading this comparison/contrast essay? Why do they need to know this?”
Use as many vivid examples and details as possible to describe your subjects. Provide balanced support for both. Use enough transitional devices to ensure a smooth flow from one subject to another and from one point to the next.
The paper must follow the APA format, including a title page, double-spaced writing, and indentations of 1/2 inch for each paragraph. Use the APA document template you submitted in Week 1.
Because it is your original writing, the reference page is not required.
