Emphasis on Comparison
Comparison – analyzes the similarities of two or more things.
When you compare items, you look for their similarities--the things that make them the same.
For example:– Apples and oranges are both fruit.– They're both foods.– Both are made into juice.– Both grow on trees.

Contrast – emphasizes the differences rather than the similarities
When you contrast items, you look at their differences.
For example: Apples are red. Oranges are orange. The fruits have different textures. Oranges need a warmer place to grow, like Florida.
Apples can grow in cooler states, like Washington.

Pattern A
(Point by Point)
In this structure, you explain one point of comparison before moving to the next point.
For instance, you would write about the characters in the book and movie in one section; then you would write about the setting in the book and movie in the next section.
![Page 6: Comparison and Contrast ENG 101 Ms. Fatema Khurshid.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c945503460f949505fd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Pattern A (continued)
Point-by-Point comparison and contrast uses a separate section or paragraph for each point.
Point #1 for your paper could be information about the characters in the book and the movie. You'd begin a section or paragraph for Point #2.
For consistency, begin with the same item in each section of your point-by-point paper. For instance, for each point that you discuss, explain the information about the book first and then about the movie.
