Please to the attached two documents uploaded . First one compare and contrast is an example that needs to be followed and used while drafting the work in that exact manner. Second one for the overview and requirements that is must and to be considered while doing work.  ( please refer the attachments for the expected quality of work) Compare and Contrast Paragraph        The comparison paragraph compares two subjects (A & B) and discusses how they are alike and lists a few examples. In the contrast paragraph, two subjects (A & B) are discussed as to how they are different, again, listing a few examples. In the compare and contrast paragraph, two subjects (A & B) are discussed as to how they are different, again, listing a few examples and as they are similar, again, listing a few examples. Whatever you apply to A, you have to apply to B.     There are two ways to write a paragraph, first, there is the point by point paragraph and there is the blocked (whole to whole) paragraph. In the point by point, writing back and forth between the two subjects. First, talking about topic A. then talk about topic B., then right back to topic A. and so on. Finally, the block paragraph only discusses one topic and then finishes the paragraph with the other subject that is to be compared or contrasted with the first. Then the conclusion puts what you are comparing or contrasting together.   Transitional expressions used in comparison: · in the same way · and, also, in addition · as well as · both, neither · each of · just as...so · similarly · like · too · the same   Transitional expressions used in contrast: · although · whereas · but · however · conversely · on the other hand · in contrast · while · yet · unlike ·   · My Brothers ·     There are many differences and likenesses between my two brothers. Glenn, my eldest brother, was very rebellious as a teenager. For example, he would go out drinking all night with his buddies and was always looking for trouble. Eric, who is older than me, but younger than Glenn, was not rebellious as a teenager. A couple of examples are the fact that Eric always put his academics ahead of everything and stayed out of trouble. Glenn did not attend college, but pursued a career in the military; whereas, Eric did attend college, became a pharmacist, and is in the Army National Guard. They are both religious, but Glenn is a Catholic who speaks with anyone and everyone about his religion, and Eric is a Christian who lets you believe what you believe. Glenn is a very “manly” person. He hides his emotions, is very handy around the house, and runs his family in the military-style. Eric is a “semi-feminine” person. He shows his emotions, hires someone else to fix things around the house, and does not run his home in the military lifestyle. Glenn is overly protective of his family. Eric is protective, but not overly protective of his family. Both Glenn and Eric have a wonderful sense of humor. There is never a dull moment when they are in the same room. Another likeness is that they both have served time in Iraq. They went over to Iraq within one month of each other and came home within one or two months of each other. Glenn and Eric are both married to their high school sweethearts and have had large families. Glenn has three boys and one girl. Eric has three girls. Lastly, they both own beautiful homes that are comfortable for their family sizes. My brothers are very different, yet similar.   Outline:   TS: There are many differences and likenesses between my two brothers.

Overview  Use the writing process steps to develop a well-written compare and contrast paragraph. Keep in mind that the three characteristics of a good paragraph are unity, support, and coherence. The final draft of the work, with all supporting work (reflection, prewriting notes, outline, and first draft). Please upload a single document containing all of your work. The work should be 250 to 350 words long, using Times New Roman or Calibri font, size 12, double-spaced. Your paragraph should also include a heading, a title, and an indent.  Step 1: Prewriting A compare paragraph compares two subjects, discusses how they are alike, and lists a few examples. On the other hand, a contrast paragraph discusses the differences between two subjects and, again, lists a few examples. The compare and contrast paragraph does both: it tells how two subjects are alike and how they are different.  Once you have a topic, spend about 10 minutes gathering your thoughts about your topic. See the tips on prewriting. Ask yourself: · What two subjects would you like to compare and contrast? · What are the similarities and differences between your two subjects? Step 2: Planning Consider the material you gathered in your prewriting and create an outline for your paragraph. Organize your ideas logically. You can use the following template for organization. See this week’s reading for an example. Topic sentence Compare                                 A                                              B                                                                Detail 1                                                                               Detail 2                                                                Detail 3                                                                                                        Detail 4 Contrast                         Detail 1                                     Detail 1                                         Detail 2                                     Detail 2                                         Detail 3                                     Detail 3                                         Detail 4                                     Detail 4 Conclusion Check your outline for unity, development, and coherence by asking yourself: · Does your topic sentence clearly state that you will compare and contrast? And does it clearly identifies both subjects? · Do your supporting details actually support the main idea? Delete anything off topic · Do you have a list of parallel points of comparison and contrast for both A & B? · Are your supporting details organized in a logical order? Step 3: Drafting Using that outline, write the first draft. · “Flesh out” the ideas from your outline · Include transitional words and phrases to create a flow between sentences. See this week’s reading for a list of transitions for a descriptive paragraph · Compose a title for your work Step 4: Polishing Ask yourself: · Are my sentences too long or too short? · Do I have enough sentence variety? · Are my words appropriate for academic purposes? · Do I have any major grammatical errors (e.g., fragments, comma splices, or run-on sentences)? · Do I have any spelling or mechanical errors? · Are my verb tenses or persons (first, second, third) consistent? · Are there verbs or adjectives I could replace with better ones (e.g., nice = cordial, amiable, gracious; do = accomplish, undertake, perform)? Let www.thesaurus.com (Links to an external site.) become your new best friend. · Sentences are linked with repetition, pronouns, synonyms, and transitional expressions that indicate compare and contrast. · The outline has a title, a topic sentence, some support, and a conclusion which reflects the rhetorical style and done according to the example in the digital book attached in uploads as an example. · The comparison and contrast paragraph topic sentence clearly states the 2 subjects (persons, things, or ideas) to be compared and contrasted and clearly states that it will do both of these actions (compare and contrast). · The paper follows MLA rules regarding heading, title, indent, double-spacing, and word count.
