Compare and Contrast is one of the most used tools whether rhetorical or verbal. We compare things to each other everyday. Some examples are jobs, classes, and friends. To compare is to find similarities in two or more things or people. To contrast is to find the differences with things to see if they're better or worse.
A few job offers can all offer the same pay or the same benefits but in contrast those jobs may require different skill or stress levels. In the example of classes they can all be the same length of time but they can have different subject content, with different professors, and different levels of skill. Friends on the other hand can vary greatly but they all have those few things that draw us in and we're constantly comparing them and looking at the contrasts between them. When it comes down to it we pick and choose from each of our friends to decide who we refer to as our "best friends."

In the blog titled “Blog Post #7: Compare and contrast” I felt that Tyler knew what he was talking or writing about but needed a little bit more explanation. I felt that he did a good job explain what compare and contrast was and gave good examples but I wish that he would have explained the benefits and cons to compare and contrast, and how comparing and contrasting can make our lives easier. Other than that I think that Tyler did a great job explaining what compare and contrast is and how it works.
