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.

Ezra Pound's "The River-Merchant's Wife" and Emily Dickinson's lyric poetry
This paper uses three poems by Emily Dickinson---"Tell all the truth but tell it slant," "If you were coming in the fall," and "She rose to his requirement"---in order to illuminate Ezra Pound's poem "The River-Merchant's Wife: A Letter". The first of Dickinson's poems is compared to Pound's poem in terms of techniques of emotional reticence. The second Dickinson poem is compared to Pound's poem in terms of how it uses imagery. The final Dickinson poem is discussed as the most accurate parallel to what Pound has achieved in "The River-Merchant's Wife," because the two share a similar approach to dramatizing female psychology.

Life experiences of personal care assistants providing cross-cultural geriatric care in Anchorage
The increase in racial and ethnic diversity in the United States and specifically in Anchorage Alaska and the compelling evidence of ethnic health disparities (Smedley, Stith and Nelson, 2002) makes the incorporation of ethnogeriatric perspective into the practice of geriatric health care of critical importance. Reported are the "federally designated racial and ethnic groups…[of]…"American Indian/Alaska Native, African American/Black, Asian American, Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino American, and white/Caucasian American…" (McBride, 2012, p.1) Also reported are "vast differences or heterogeneity…found between and within these categories related to health beliefs and practices, access and utilization of health care, health risks, family dynamics and caregiving, decision making process and priorities, and response to interventions and changes in health care policies." (McBride & Lewis, 2004; McBride, Morioka-Douglas, & Yeo, 1996; McCabe & Cuellar, 1994; Richardson, 1996; Villa, Cuellar, & Yeo, 1993; Yeo, McCabe, Talamantes, Henderson, Scott, & Yee, 1996 in: McBride, 2012, p.1) Additionally reported is that the heterogeneity within each of the categories of ethnic/racial minority older persons such as sociodemographic characteristics, modes of social interaction and communication, health and healing belief systems, learning behaviors, and certain values and traditions…" all of which "contribute degrees of complexity to the delivery of culturally sensitive health care." (Yeo, McCabe, Henderson, Talamantes, Scott & Yee, 1996 in: McBride, 2012, p.1) The study reported in this work is a qualitative phenomenological research study that examines the experiences of personal care assistants in Anchorage, Alaska.
