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.

Designing an intergenerational program between high school students and nursing home residents
Students with behavioral problems generally have emotional difficulties. The problem is that students with psychical disabilities are given attention and included, but students with emotional disabilities (of which behavioral problems are a result) appear the same as others and are, therefore, excluded. This aggravates their situation. They need an emphatic, listening ear and someone who cares for them. They are usually not given this in the anonymity and largeness of the school setting (Hewitt). My program advocates the matching of the student with emotional difficulties to one or more elderly individuals who will take an interest in them and communicate with them. The interaction will not only benefit both but will provide this student with the social support and social connection that he so much needs potentially leading to diminishment of his behavioral problems.
