Choose one of the topics listed below for your Comparison or Contrast Essay. Remember, you will either compare or contrast, not both. The Comparison- Contrast essay requires an equal and balanced discussion for both subject A and subject B. Above all, the essay must show the PURPOSE for your making the comparison or contrast. The thesis statement should reflect the purpose and significance of the comparison or contrast.

Two colleges Two Relatives Two Relaxing Activities and Their Benefits

Two Views of the Same Location Two Types of Dates

Two College Subjects Two Types of Social Networks

Two Friends Two Jobs or Workplaces

Two Bosses Two Neighbors

Two Neighborhoods

Two Professional Athletes Two Sports Teams
