Compare Or Contrast Essay Topics

Compare and Contrast Essay By definition; love is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Love can be interrupted in many ways. Were we ever taught love or is it just a natural feeling towards a person? Some say you'll know the meaning of love when you fall in love, yet some don't believe in love at all.

The sculpture "LOVE" created by Robert Indiana and the sculpture "The Kiss" made by Auguste Rodin both share some of the same meanings behind the art work (Indianapolis Museum of Art) (Rodin's The Kiss Sculpture).

This piece is also an abstract form of art and more modern the color is red and has a feeling of happiness and joy and you have the urge to feel love just by seeing it so large and up front. "LOVE" has always been placed out in the open demanding attention from a lot of people to see. "The Kiss" is more of a classic form of art and has been placed in more private areas. Although it has a distressing grey color "The Kiss" has more depth; the feeling of intimacy is strong and makes a statement. There are both similarities and differences in "The Kiss" and "LOVE". The emotion and meaning behind both are incredible, it shows and understands the meanings of love, lust, joy, and intimacy.

Cleaning with Barry and Britt

The act of being habitually and carefully neat and clean can make for an interesting topic in a comparison and contrast essay. Dave Barry compares the differences of how women and men clean in his compare and contrast essay, Batting Clean– Up and Striking out. In Suzanne Britt's compare and contrast essay, Neat People vs. Sloppy People she compares the differences of personalities between Sloppy people and neat people. Both essays compare cleanliness in one way or another however they both have differences regarding their use of humor, examples, and points made in their thesis.

The way Barry and Britt support their points in their compare and contrast essays differ. In Batting Clean–Up and Striking Out, Barry uses lots of personal stories and factual happenings to explain his opinions. For example, to explain how men are worse at cleaning Barry specifically refers to a volcano eruption that happened in Pompei because the men, who were in control of the cleaning, did not notice ashes piling up around and in their houses. In addition, when describing how men are better with sports than woman he refers to a personal story; specifically a story about a dinner party that he attended where the men were glued to the World Series and the women were still chatting amongst themselves. These forms of examples are personal stories that offer validity. On the other hand, in Britt's Neat people vs. Sloppy people she uses more dreamt up incidences to explain her opinions. For example when explaining how neat people are "viscous with their mail" she explains, " All ads, catalogs, pleas for charitable contributions, church bulletins, and money–saving coupons go straight into the trash can without being opened...No sentimental salvaging of birthday cards or the last letter a dying relative ever wrote. Into the trash it goes" (256). As seen in this example, Britt uses lots of lists and possible incidents that could exist to support her points, but do these incidences

The reason MLB players make so much is because there are 162 games per team a season not including the playoffs. Where as in the NFL there are only 16 games not including the playoffs. With baseball players playing multiple games per week & football players playing one or two games a week but usually one the money start to add up. It has also been argued that college athletes should be paid for what they do. While the NCAA is completely against collegiate athletes getting paid. However, that does not stop some players from getting money. Houston Texans running back Arian Foster came out and said in an interview that while playing football at Tennessee he took money on the side because he didn't have enough money to eat. "My senior year I was getting money on the side."– Arian Foster. "I really didn't have any money. I had to either pay rent or buy some food."– Arian Foster Also just last season Texas A&M Quarterback Johnny Manziel was put under investigation by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for supposedly receiving money for a large amount of autographed memorabilia that he signed. The NCAA is completely against collegiate athletes receiving money. Although the sports of football & baseball are both very popular, there are a substantial amount of differences

If someone leaves their hometown and go somewhere different they may experience something completely separate from your time in your home. As an effect of this difference the person may change according to the setting. Any town or city doesn't change nearly as much as a person. For either better or worse it is easiest to tell how one has changed by returning to a place they have been before. Every other summer my family goes to Oregon. We have been since I was four, but every time it felt a slight difference. I realized after we went last summer that it was me that was changing. At first when I went I liked there because it was an action packed vacation. However, in more recent trips I've had a realization that I like going on those trips
