Today we learned more about the importance of compare and contrast. We watched two different videos of the itsy bitsy spider song to give us a better example of what it is. Using this specific tool of compare and contrast can help shape a paper to becoming an even better one. Within compare and contrast, there is a basis of comparison. The basis of comparison is what connects and ties together the two subjects in what they are similar in. A good example of basis of comparison in the itsy bitsy spider is that b=the two songs being compared have the same lyrics.
These tools can be used to help shape a paper. One of the best examples of compare and contrast would be the use of analogies. By using these tools, decisions will be much more easy to make. Using keywords such as " relative merits of two candidates, advantages/ disadvantages, or rather" will decrease the repetition of compare and contrast in a sentence. We can format our compare and contrast essay into two different types of essay structures. Side by side essay and subject by subject essay. They both are set up in the basic format that includes intro, body, and conclusion. Side by side gives the similarities and differences of the subject one after another. Subject by subject talks about the comparisons and differences by subject.
