Extractions: Compare/Contrast Essay What is a comparison or a contrast? A comparison shows how two or more items are similar, and a contrast shows how they are different. What is a compare/contrast essay? In this situation, the compare/contrast essay must consider both the similarities and the differences found in a fairy tale of your choice. (The example below assumes that the writer is using two fairy tale stories.) This can be achieved through either a subject-by-subject comparison or a point-by-point comparison. In class, we will look at an example using the fairy tale of Cinderella. The trick is to not argue the obvious. When two or more things are clearly different, your challenge is to find out how they are similar. When two or more things are clearly similar, your challenge is to find out how they are similar.

Conjunctions on the uses of and, but, and or A University grammar of English by construction otherthan helps us make an implied comparison; this usage is perfectly http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/conjunctions.htm
Extractions: Some words are satisfied spending an evening at home, alone, eating ice-cream right out of the box, watching Seinfeld re-runs on TV, or reading a good book. Others aren't happy unless they're out on the town, mixing it up with other words; they're joiners and they just can't help themselves. A conjunction is a joiner, a word that connects (conjoins) parts of a sentence. The simple, little conjunctions are called coordinating conjunctions (you can click on the words to see specific descriptions of each one): Coordinating Conjunctions and but or yet ... so (It may help you remember these conjunctions by recalling that they all have fewer than four letters. Also, remember the acronym FANBOYS F or- A nd- N or- B ut- O r- Y et- S o. Be careful of the words then and now ; neither is a coordinating conjunction, so what we say about coordinating conjunctions' roles in a sentence and punctuation does not apply to those two words.)
Comparison - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia comparison, in grammar, is a property of adjectives and adverbs in most languages;it A perennial issue in English usage involves the comparison of so http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison
Extractions: A comparison is an evaluation of similarities and differences - described by Gregory Bateson in his book Mind and Nature as the two quanta of experience. edit In computer programming , when one compares the two values x and y , a negative number often indicates , zero x == y and a postive number . Even when two values are not integers, e.g. literal strings, this convention is largely adopted. For example, strcmp returns -1, 0, or 1 according to the lexigraphical order, and qsort expects the comparison function to return values according to this convention. This is because it is efficient to do the subtraction x - y resulting in the directional signs above. In sorting algorithms , the efficiency of comparison code is critical since it is one of the major factors of sorting performance. Sometimes, particularly in object-oriented programming , the comparison raises questions of datatypes and inheritance equality and identity . It is often necessary to distinguish between: two objects with different datatypes both related to another datatype, e.g. an orange and a lemon, both being citrus fruit

Extractions: How much attention should technical communicators pay to formal rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage? Does incorrect grammar, punctuation, or usage detract from the value and usability of your groups publications? Does your audience care, or even notice, if formal rules are broken? Grammar is the arrangement, relationships, and functions of words and the ways they are put together to form phrases, clauses or sentences. Punctuation marks are signals that help readers to understand the ideas in a passage and read more quickly and efficiently. Rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage can be essential or nonessentialor even fake! Writers and editors need to pay attention to the essential issues, but can spend less time on nonessential issuesparticularly in the face of tight deadlinesand they can safely ignore the fake issues. Essential rules are those that are necessary for clear, unambiguous communication.
