Today in class we discussed one strategy for introducing a comparison/contrast essay [which is] called the "turnabout." In the turnabout, you either say how the two things you're comparing are similar, or how they're different, until a point when you "turn around" and then say that this paper will be how these two things are the opposite from what you just said. If you were talking about differences, then your thesis will point to the similarities. If you were talking about the similarities, then your thesis will point to the differences.
For this post, I want you to write a turnabout introduction for an essay about one of the following topics. You do not have to write the entire essay, just the introduction. The introduction should end with a thesis that states what you are comparing or contrasting in the essay. Today in class you will remember [that] we compared a Camry with a Lamborgini. Take a look at the language for writing the thesis statement in the writing book to get it right.
Here are your choices:
1. Compare/contrast an apple and an orange.
2. Compare/contrast level 4 and level 5.
3. Compare/contrast people from your country and Americans.
There are many kinds of fruit. Two of which are an orange and an apple. An orange and an apple, which are the famous fruit between people, rich of Vitamin C. Many people enjoy eating them by teeth, while the others drinking them as a juice. There are many disparities between apple and orange in term of color, shape. and taste.
