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.

On-site childcare and effects on employee workplace productivity
Quality of care may influence employment in a number of ways. Parents may be unwilling to leave their children in a low-quality, dangerous environment or with adults who do not supply a motivating or warm environment. This may be a particular dilemma for lower-income families, who have more inadequate choices of providers. On the contrary, a secure, warm, motivating environment may persuade employment and longer hours of work.

The strangeness of nature in Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"
Three American Poets – The Strangeness of Nature Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening – Robert Frost Robert Frost's poem – an iconic and very well known poem – can be misunderstood, and is misunderstood in many instances. This is because there is a seeming innocence about the poem. What could be confusing about a poem that seems so tranquil and so linked to the natural world in wintertime? A careful examination of the second stanza can discover there is more meaning than immediately meets the eye, however. "My little horse must think it queer / To stop without a farmhouse near / Between the woods and frozen lake / The darkest evening of the year." The poet stops on the "…darkest evening of the year" to watch the woods "fill up with snow," and according to John T. Ogilvie's scholarship, the poet is caught between two worlds, the world of quiet nature and solitude, and the world of "…people and social obligations" (Ogilvie, 1959). Does the lure of his social responsibility have more power than his attraction to the woods? Ironically the world of the woods and snow may be the poet's escape from the village and the society, but a man owns these woods so he isn't really escaping at all.
