Some things can be very similar, but also very different. For example, stories can be different. They have different plots and different authors, but they can also have similar elements and plot ideas. Some examples of that in a story could be that a character makes a friend, or attempts to achieve a goal. In this essay, I will be comparing and contrasting “Old Ben” and “Fox Hunt”, two stories with different plots and similar elements. While some similarities are evident between “Old Ben” and “Fox Hunt”, the differences are also distinct.

In my opinion the compare and contrast essay was more difficult than the berrarive essay. I believe this because it was easier to write about myself than to inform of a certain subject. In the process of writing this essay it was a benefit to have different articles.. Considering that I had different perspectives and good points that could support my main idea. But having different articles was also a bit confusing since I had so many information and did not know what points to use. The class discussions really helped me to write my essays I find it really useful to talk in class of the subject we will write essays of. Furthermore, having different options of writing an essay is beneficial since I could choose the one I am most interested in.
Actually, I had written a compare/contrast paragraph before, but it was just basic writing, not professional writing. Writing this paragraph was much harder than I thought it would be, because the format of the writing was complicated. Especially, making smooth paragraph transitions, which is really crucial for point-by-point writing, was one of the parts that I put a lot of efforts to make good coherence. The most difficult part was giving my example of consequences of plagiarism. This is because the issue of plagiarism was not common when I was in Korea, so it was hard to come up with an idea based on my experience. When I read my group members’ paragraph, I learned how to use transition words well to create clear writing and the ways they
