Comparative Essay. Guide

 

Comparative essays are this type of essay writer allows you to make connections between different subjects and to make sense of the connections between the different ideas surrounding those subjects. It encourages you to think critically about the similarities in different subjects and the differences in similar subjects, because you are writing an essay not to state the obvious, but to show readers, your audience, the connections and connections that they might otherwise miss.
Below are steps you can use to write a good comparative essay


Choose a topic
- Discuss practical reasons for comparing and contrasting.
- Discuss your reasons for learning how to write about similarities and differences.
At this point, it is very important to choose subjects that are important to students. For example, you could compare two models of cars and then write a letter to a benefactor who can buy them. Another is a store manager writing to a customer about two products. Academic topics such as comparing two organisms, two wars, two approaches to solving a math problem can also be useful. 
Provide an argument
- Show an essay on comparing/comparing models.
Explain that there are two ways to write an essay, but don't go into detail about how to do it yet. 
Focus on key points
- Explain, compare / contrast keywords.
Explain: when comparing, students should mention the differences but focus on the similarities. Conversely, when contrasting, they should mention the similarities but focus on the differences. 
Make a comparison chart
Write the similarities and differences as a table. This will help you not miss a single detail.
A draft is the basis of a good essay
Use the comparison chart they filled out in class or the chart they made on their own. 
Edit
- Read your essay carefully, checking for grammatical and semantic errors. Ask peers to grade your essay using the comparison/comparison criteria.

Thanks for the tips. I will definitely use it when writing an essay. I can also recommend a good resource for writing find more https://writingbros.com/essay-examples/daca/ In all the time I worked with them, if I needed help writing an essay, I always took information from them. In general, I don't like to write, so I sometimes use similar resources for help
