When you compare items, you look for their similarities--the things that make them the same.
For example:
Apples and oranges are both fruit.
They're both foods.
Both are made into juice.
Both grow on trees.
When you contrast items, you look at their differences.
For example:
Apples are red. Oranges are orange.
The fruits have different textures.
Oranges need a warmer place to grow, like Florida. Apples can grow in cooler places, like Alberta.
There are three strategies to organise comparison and contrast papers:
1. Whole-to-Whole, or Block
2. Similarities-to-Differences
3. Point-by-Point
