While the chapter you are about to read frames using comparing and contrasting as a technique used for whole essays, you should keep in mind that you can also use this rhetorical device in a section of a larger essay. To get a sense of how the technique works read “Comparison and Contrast”<\/a><\/b> from Writing for Success<\/a><\/b>from Saylor Academy<\/a><\/b>. The same book has a sample compare and contrast<\/a><\/b> essay for you to read.\n<\/p>\n
