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.

Comparative analysis of literary works sharing thematic elements
There is a lot of similarity in the works of Robert in his poem "The Road Not Taken" and the short story by Welty "A Worn Path". The writings, however, tell us that it is up to us to determine how the journey will end. We are the makers of our future. It is up to us to shape our future in accordance to our dreams. One critic of the poem states that the poem talks about the human tendency to make decisions in life and assume that his decision-making was logical and beneficial. A worn out path is a short story by Eudora Welty. Eudora Welty composes a fictional story whereby he sets a deceptive tone.
