COMPARE AND CONTRAST

Definition

To compare two or more things is to find out what those things have in common; similarities. To contrast two or more things is just the opposite, it is to find out how those things are different.

For example, cookies and apples are both delicious snacks, that is where they are similar. On the contrary, cookies are junk food while an apple is a fruit.

 

 

Lyrics

Compare, compare, and contrast, contrast

Compares everything that’s alike

Contrasts everything that’s different

Compare, compare, compare and

Contrast, contrast

Compares everything that’s alike

Contrasts everything that’s different

Compare, compare and

Contrast

Compare means describing similarities between the subjects

What they have in common, we are now comparing

Some of the same elements are what they’re sharing

But the meaning of contrast you know is different

Between the subjects, it describes the difference

Examples: you have a group of food

Some may be fruit. Some may be meat.

Some may be a vegetable

But all of them you eat

Comparing/contrasting

When you contrasting, you’re telling the difference

Vegetables can eat raw but with meat you have to cook it

That contrast, Now I hope you get it cause it’s easy

That contrast, I hope you get it cause it’s easy

Compare, compare, and contrast, contrast

Compares everything that’s alike

Contrasts everything that’s different

Compare, compare, compare and

Contrast, contrast

Compares everything that’s alike

Contrasts everything that’s different

Compare, compare and

Contrast
