What to Compare?<\/strong><\/p>\n There is such a wide choice of subjects which can be compared that you might feel bewildered when thinking over this. First of all, you need to decide whether you would like to compare material objects or abstract notions. Then you should choose an approximate direction for the topic. Your essay can concern society, politics, economics, culture or any other sphere. After you have chosen the area, you need to narrow down your topic to something more specific.<\/p>\n You have the ability to compare these points:<\/p>\n If you are going to compare these things in general, you will have to write a book, not an essay. Compare and contrast essays concern only definite aspects. For example, if you would like to discuss coffee and tea, you can concentrate on their influence on people\u2019s health. So, we recommend that you don\u2019t spend much time on this step and focus more on writing.<\/p>\n Compare or Contrast: Is There a Difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, there is a difference between these two verbs. When we are talking about comparing subjects, we usually mean discussing many aspects of these subjects, including those which are similar and those which are different. While we are contrasting things, we don\u2019t look for something in common. Our aim is to find differences between these points.<\/p>\n Before writing, you should ask your teacher what she or he expects from you exactly. Typically, a comparison essay is more preferable because it reveals more sides of the issues than a contrast essay. If you need to complete a contrast essay, you should discuss things which are very similar and difficult to find differences. That way, you\u2019ll show your ability to separate things even by small details.<\/p>\n How to Compare?<\/strong><\/p>\n After you decided on the topics, you should choose which method you will use to explore the subjects. There are two main methods \u2014 point-by-point and block method. It will be easier for you to understand these two ways of comparing the examples.<\/p>\n Point-By-Point Method<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s suppose that our topic is the influence of coffee and black tea on people\u2019s health. We need to choose aspects which we would like to reveal. There are usually three of them:<\/p>\n If you use point-by-point method, you need to examine the mentioned aspect for two subjects one by one. This means, first of all, you will explore coffee\u2019s influence on the cardiovascular system. Afterwards, you should talk about black tea\u2019s impact on the cardiovascular system. In the second paragraph, you will start from revealing coffee\u2019s influence on the psycho-emotional state and continue with discussing black tea\u2019s effect on the psycho-emotional state. Did you get the idea? We hope you did. We can now move further and explain another method to you.<\/p>\n Block Method<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n When you would like to use block method, you should also create subaspects for the main aspects. It can look like this:<\/p>\n 1) Impact on cardiovascular system.<\/strong><\/p>\n 2) Influence on psycho-emotional state.<\/strong><\/p>\n 3) Effect on<\/strong> bones.<\/strong><\/p>\n Subaspects are similar for each aspect. Unlike the point-by-point method, you won\u2019t need to discuss coffee and black tea separately. You will need to explore them simultaneously \u2014 you won\u2019t need to examine tea first and then coffee. You can compose sentences like this: \u201cCoffee more rarely penetrates into teeth microfissures and colors them than black tea.\u201d<\/p>\n In the previous sections, we have explained to you what body paragraphs should contain according to the method that you use to compare the subjects. Now, it\u2019s time to find out how to complete an extended outline. Actually writing a detailed outline is half the work because the only thing you will need to do then is to develop each point. That is much faster when you have the scheme. There are two versions of outlines for our comparison\/contrast essay that we would like to present you:<\/p>\n Outline #1 (point-by-point method)<\/strong><\/p>\n Introduction<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 1) Tea and coffee take a special place in everyday life. Body<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 1) Impact on cardiovascular system<\/strong><\/p>\n Details: Coffee can be dangerous for people who suffer hypertonia because caffeine causes the rise of arterial pressure.<\/p>\n Details: The antioxidants in black tea reduce the appearance of atherosclerosis, which is known to cause heart attacks.<\/p>\n 2) Influence on psycho-emotional state<\/strong><\/p>\n Details: People who drink coffee usually suffer from superfluous anxiety.<\/p>\n Details: People who drink tea suffer from depressions less often than those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n 3) Effect on bones<\/strong><\/p>\n Details: Coffee colors people\u2019s teeth.<\/p>\n Details: Black tea helps to prevent osteoporosis.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 1) Black tea is less harmful for health overall. Outline #2 (block method)<\/strong><\/p>\n Introduction<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 1) Tea and coffee take a special place in everyday life.
