In a compare and contrast essay, your job as the writer is to discuss and analyze the ways in which two (or more) texts, characters, settings, and so forth, are similar (this is the "compare" part) as well as different (this is the "contrast" part). It is not enough to simply point out that similarities and differences exist between your subjects; you must go beyond description and summary. You should use this "data"—your list of similarities and differences—to make some compelling argument about your subjects. If you get this type of assignment, often your teacher is hoping that you will draw connections between the two subjects, develop an understanding of their relationship to one another, and discover what is most important about each.
