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.

Ernest Hemingway – The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber and Ernest Hemingway's biography illustrate several key aspects of Ernest Hemingway's his personality. Hemingway's upbringing and observations of the characters in this short story reveal his attitudes about men, women and their relationships. If this short story is a true indication of Hemingway's worldview, then Hemingway's upbringing and adult life led to a worldview that was male-centered, as shown by the male-centered viewpoint from which this story is told. In addition, Hemingway intimately tied his notions of cowardice and manliness to violence and bravery, shown by the abiding bravery of Wilson and the cowardice-grown-to-manliness of Macomber. Hemingway also believed that women, particularly American women, are desirable but contemptible, as shown in his descriptions of Margot's beauty and bitchiness. Finally, Hemingway shows his belief that men should control male-female relationships by discussing Macomber's cowardly blame for his wife's affair with Wilson through his failure to control his wife.

Mechanisms of Aging
The mechanisms involved in aging appear to be conserved from Hydra to humans. Hydra immortality depends on an ability to maintain three distinct populations of stem cells, and the same could be concluded with respect to the germ cells and somatic nuclear material for more complex metazoans. The mechanism that appears to be common among all metazoans is the epigenetic control of gene silencing, such that a robust silencing activity is associated with young cells and increased transcriptional noise associated with aged cells. This essay details current theories that attempt to explain metazoan senescence.
