The first step in a Compare and Contrast paper is a Venn
Diagram. Let's Compare and Contrast soccer and basketball.
First ask yourself, "What do they have in common?

• Both played with balls
• Both games played using timed 'quarters'.
• Both played on a rectangular field, with the object of the game being to penetrate the opponent’s territory and "scoring".
• Both are popular spectator sports

• Try showing the reader, instead:
• "Dribbling the ball on the gym floor, the basketball player weaves in and out through the opposition, his final destination, a 10 foot high net, clearly in his sights.
