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.

The Bible is very polarizing in its depictions of women; Biblical women are either seen as good or bad with very little room for complexity in their personalities. Rebekah defies this convention. In many ways, she is an example of the deceiver, which is one of the anti-female themes that run throughout the Bible. Not only does she deceive her husband, but she does so to the detriment of one of her children. However, she may also be one of the most obedient women in the entire Bible; all of the seemingly immoral actions she takes are actually taken to further God's goals for Israel.
