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 American victory in the War of Independence

John Ferling's book "Almost a Miracle: The American victory in the War of Independence" provides an accurate account of the conflict and relates to particular events that played an essential role in assisting the colonists win. I believe that the writer intended the book to provide a thorough set of causes that made it possible for the colonies to achieve victory. One of the principal concepts present throughout the book is the fact that Ferling wants people to understand the American victory as being very improbable at the time when the conflict started. In addition to relating to historic facts regarding the Independence War, Ferling also goes at explaining them and tries to determine whether or not the outcome of the war was surprising.
