What is Contrast?

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them.  However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different.  It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted.  A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent.  However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

Earth Liberation Front: Eco-Terrorism, Arsons, and the FBI
There are many people and/or groups who claim responsibility for the Earth Liberation Front’s (ELF) development. The group is comprised of loosely affiliated or autonomous cells that are only bound by the idea that they can move beyond civil disobedience and accept more contentious tactics for the defense of their environmental causes. Many members of this group have been prosecuted as terrorists and are currently in special detention centers. The group and their actions undoubtedly fit the broad definition that the FBI provides for terrorism. The two factors in the terrorism definition that are the most important and the group fits is that it performed dangerous acts with the intent to intimidate others. Although no one has been harmed in an ELF action, it cannot be denied that many of the arsons have been dangerous.
