Compare and Contrast 

Compare and contrast is a method to identify similarities and differences between two things.Compare is a method to find similarities between the two things being observed, while contrast discusses the differences between the two things.

Type of comparison.

Type of contrast

The reader will related to the features of the two subjects then state the contrast by discussing point by point

2. Subject by subject

How to organize

2. Point by point

Each similarity/difference for one object is followed immediately by the similarity/difference for the other.

3. Venn diagram
