Comparison Blog

Before reading, Brothers, Bad Blood and the Blackwater Tangle and Battle of the Beds: Suave S.U.V.'s With Pickup Lines, I learned in class about the block method of writing and the flip flop method of writing. In using the block method you first present all the information on the first topic and then present all the information on the second topic. And in the flip flop method you compare and contrast two topics back in forth.
The two articles were written in two different styles of writing. In the , "Battle of the Beds: Suave S.U.V.'s With Pickup Lines," two things, the Ford Explorer Sport Trac and the Chevrolet Avalanche , were being compared. Over all, the Sport Trac which was designed by a, Chelsia Lau, has a real macho look. "I wanted to pull up to a stoplight in a cloud of dust and yell, “Whoa!!!” But also the Chevrolet Avalanche is no longer the Ugly Betty of the bunch.
In the " Brothers, Bad Blood and Blackwater Tangle," article nothing was being compared until almost the end of the article. In the beginning of the essay it talks about each brothers accomplishments and all they have achieved over the years. It then later goes on to explain how each brother had different parts in the scandal and how they both were accused of different things that went on in the scandal.
By reading both these articles it helped me to get a better understanding on what to do and what not to do in writing a comparison essay.
