About This Topic

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.

Rhetorical Analysis of Alexander the Great's Speech
This paper focuses on a speech given by Alexander the Great in 326 B.C. The argument that Alexander chose to use was very persuasive to his intended audience. One of the greatest strengths of the argument was that Alexander highlighted the past accomplishments of the men as a means of quelling any concerns that they would fail in their future endeavors. He also uses a very grandiose and broad vision to help inspire the men, talking about taking over all of Asia and then using that example in contrast to simply staying home and protecting the home front. However, the argument also had its weaknesses. In some locations Alexander speaks about them being welcomed by the people in distant lands, but he also discusses forcing nations into submission, making one question which part of the argument is true. Taken as a whole, the argument was a persuasive one, which is revealed, not only by the text of the argument, but by the historical fact that it did inspire his men to continue into Asia.
