Compare and Contrast Essay Instructions
To write a comparison or contrast essay that is easy to follow, first decide what the similarities and

comparison. It is much easier to discuss ONLY the similarities or ONLY the differences, but you must

Finally, and this is important, what main point (thesis) might you make in the essay about the people,
things, or events being compared? Do not begin writing until you have a main point that the similarities
or differences you want to use help to prove. Your point should shape the rest of what you say. For
example, if you see that one of your similarities or differences is unrelated to the point, throw it out and
think of one that is related. Or revise your point. Be sure this main point is clearly and prominently
expressed in the thesis.
The thesis should make clear the subjects you are comparing and the main point(s) your analysis has
uncovered. For the body of the essay, you can organize subject by subject or point by point. Personally, I
find the point by point organization is easier to follow.
