Choose two topics of your choice to compare and contrast. You are not required to do any research for this essay, so this assignment encourages you to pick topics you know about so that you can use your own knowledge to build the content of the essay. Not researching the topic and using your own knowledge makes this an opinion piece. Below, there will be some examples of compare and contrast topics, but you may pick your own.  The essay needs to be at least two full pages (no more than three) following the MLA formatting guidelines of 1-inch margins, double spacing between lines with no extra spacing, Times New Roman,  12 point type.  It can be about anything just as long as its compare and contrast essay.
