    This document discusses comparison and contrast as forms of analysis. It notes that comparison focuses on similarities while contrast focuses on differences. There are two main organizational structures for comparison/contrast paragraphs: block organization, where all similarities are discussed together and all differences separately, and point-by-point organization, where each point is discussed with the related similarities and differences. The document also provides examples of language used for comparison ("and", "both", etc.) and contrast ("but", "yet", "although", etc.).
