Comparison/Contrast Mode

In comparison and contrast mode, the writer will compare, contrast, or both, two separate topics. This is easily confused with classification mode that discussses two parts of a single topic.
The author should hold off their argument until the end of the essay in order to give accurate representation to the topic. The subjects should also be kept in separate paragraphs to avoid confusion and give fair representation to both.
The main body may be divided subject by subject or standard by standard. With subject by subject, the writer includes all that they know about one subject before moving to the next. With standard by standard, the author moves point by point discussing each subject in a paragraph before continuing on to the next topic.
