Why Compare & Contrast?
There are two main reasons that people use comparison and contrast:
1.To Explain
2.To Evaluate
1. To Explain
To Explain-You might compare and contrast
kinds of food, for instance, to help someone understand which food need to be refrigerated and which can be stored in a cabinet or in a bowl on the counter.
To Evaluate- You might compare and contrast
kinds of food to show why one kind of food or brand of food is better than another. For example, apples are a better snack than butter.
2. To Evaluate
Organizing a Compare/Contrast Essay
1. Subject by Subject Organization
2. Feature by Feature Organization
