Compare and Contrast

Today in class we thoroughly discussed visual rhetoric and compare & contrast types of essays. We discussed the ways to go about writing a compare & contrast essay as well. When writing a compare & contrast essay we should switch the two around to contrast & compare. Why? Because when we view things throughout the world we usually start out by identifying main differences in them. After that we may or may not form comparisons between them.
Another important piece of a contrast & compare essay is the structure to which we write it in. we should go about writing this in two ways, either side by side or subject by subject. Side by side introduces picture one with the scene then picture 2 with the scene. Following that sequence is season with picture one then with picture two, and so on. In subject by subject we take the scene, season, and people content and describe it for picture one then following that is picture two. This is the appropriate way of going about a contrast & compare essay.
