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.

Leadership styles in Flight of the Phoenix (2004)
John Moore's 2004 motion picture Flight of the Phoenix relates to an account involving leadership styles and individuals who take on attitudes that make them more or less worthy of being considered leaders by the persons that they interact with. The fact that the plane's crew members are confused and unable to take attitude in critical conditions surrounding the plane's crash influences them in turning to the Captain as a result of his position and because of his authoritarian atittude. This actually set the path for later events involving Towns, as most of the group's members got accustomed to the idea that he had no problems imposing his point of view when the situation arose.

Oligarchical power and critiques of the Romantic novel
This essay examines critical responses to the rise of the novel during the Romantic period in order to point out their oligarchical tendencies. Critics decried the popularity of the novel, and in doing so supported an oligarchical control of media in opposition to the newly emergent public sphere. Comparing these responses to a more recent critical text demonstrates that they are not unique arguments, but rather single iterations of the common oligarchical tendency to decry anything that threatens authority.
