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.

Ender\'s Game -- From Being
Society has made it possible for people to focus on a series of values that are more or less moral and that influence them in putting across particular behavior. The idea of a game is the main point of attention in Orson Scott Card's 1985 novel "Ender's Game", considering that the protagonist is actively engaged in playing and winning a series of games without actually realizing the significance of these respective games. The science fiction novel is meant to reflect humanity's behavior in the recent decades and people's inability to maintain some of their most important values. In his determination to employ tactical thinking in winning games, Andrew ‘Ender' Wiggin loses touch with his humane side and ends up acting similar to a machine.
