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.

Sea and naval power in land warfare and power projection
Naval Questions This order consists of 4 questions about: how Sea, Naval and Maritime Power aid land forces and project a nation's power; naval warfare of ancient Greeks vs. ancient Romans; American Revolutionary War British Navy vs. French Navy; WWII Japanese Navy vs. U. S. Navy. The usefulness of Sea, Naval and Maritime Power for land war and power projection is seen in multiple roles, often carried out in tandem with land and air forces, to prevent or wars. Comparing Greeks and Romans naval warfare, the Roman mastery of the land allowed it to have a far more balanced land/sea military than the Greeks, who were forced to rely heavily on naval forces. The French Navy was highly effective and significantly contributed to American independence while the British Royal Navy was far less effective. The Japanese Navy was a dominating force in the Pacific Theater of WWII but was eventually overwhelmed by the U. S. Navy.
