What are the similarities? What are the differences? Who would even care to compare and contrast these objects? By now your probably wondering what I'm talking about. In this essay you will read how books and binders have similarities and differences.
Books and binders have some things in common. Obviously, they both can open up. They both have covers, too. Last, the both can hold secrets and/or documents.
They also have some differences. Books have perilous adventures, or strange mysteries. Normally binders don't. Books also have titles and are typed. Binders hold work for multiple choices when a book stays on the same topic. Last, books don't help you get organized, when binders have different sections for you to put your work in. The illustrators for books choose the covers/colors, when you get to choose the colors for binders.
After you have read all this information, you can answer this question: Which one do you think is better?

Your Lives Can Change In Just Seconds!
It takes seconds for a hurricane and earthquake to change our lives. In those seconds, we can get seriously hurt or killed and lose our homes with entire cities also being destroyed. I am going to compare and contrast both hurricanes and earthquakes and start by giving the similarities between both of them.
One similarity is that they both come from an act of nature which means they can both happen on their own at any time when conditions are right. This really freaks me out because if I am on a trip where one of these could occur, I am afraid that one of these might happen while I'm there. Another similarity is that they can change our lives in seconds by making us poor, sad and even killing us. Things that you should have if one of these would hit are health products water, foods and tools. Another similarity is that they can both be recorded on the Richter scale. The Richter scale is something that records when the earth moves. It has been documented that a powerful hurricane can cause the ground to shake with it's vicious winds. Now I am going to talk about earthquakes.
Earthquakes can destroy a lot of things such as the ground, trees, buildings, lives and entire cities. Another thing is unlike hurricanes, you can't predict earthquakes. So if you live somewhere where an earthquake can strike, you should always be on alert. Scientists record earthquakes as magnitudes on a scale of one to ten with ten being the strongest. Just this year (2010) one of the world strongest earthquakes hit in Chile which was 8.8 magnitude and the earthquake even made our days shorter by a few milliseconds. Now I am going to talk about hurricanes.
Hurricanes usually happen around the ocean so if you live around an ocean and you can get a hurricane, always watch the weather to be safe. Hurricanes can be predicted unlike earthquakes so if the weather service is predicting one, get out of there till the storm is over. Hurricanes can cause terrible damage, horrible floods and even can develop a tornado. Hurricanes can be recorded as categories on a scale of 1 to 5. A category 5 hurricane is the highest category that can be recorded and they record them by the wind speeds inside the hurricane. Hurricanes can have winds up to 300 mph which would make it a category 5. That is why hurricanes are very dangerous to be in because of the high speed winds. Be sure to never stay at your house during a hurricane.
Earthquakes and hurricanes are both very dangerous natural disasters so never get caught up in them if you can help it. Due to the unpredictability of both of these disasters, you may not have much of a choice.

Airsoft or Paintball
I love sports and I also love these two action sports airsoft and paintball. In this post I will tell you about the similarities and differences.
The similarities are that they are both of a sports that include shooting but that both can not kill you. They also both use the rules are pretty much the same to. They also have gas guns too.
Now to the differences. the ammo is so different. Airsoft ammo is made out of plastic a is pretty small and can be different colors. But the paint balls are pretty big and when it hits something it explodes. Now to the guns airsoft guns look real but the paintball guns don't look real. But all of the paintball guns take gas to shoot but airsoft has spring electric and gas. Plus paintball hurts more in my opinion. But I like airsoft better.

Steak and Pasta or Pasta and Steak
I love almost all foods but my two favorite foods have to be steak and pasta. They are the same and different in many ways. So, in this essay I will explain the similarity's and different s for steak and pasta.
One of the things that they both have in common is they have so many different things you can putt in them. Like pasta can go with brown beef, crunchy chicken, and fresh fish. With steak, you can put fabulous purple, orange, and yellow fruit, green, yellow, and brown vegetables, or mushy mashed potatoes with brown gravy.The possibility's are endless. Another thing in common is that they smell incredible when they are ready to eat. Steak smells like the outdoors with hits of seasonings.Pasta smells like what ever you put into it. Like spaghetti, it makes me imagine of Paris in an Italian restaurant. They both taste amazing in there own ways. Steak is chewy, juicy, and buff, I like to fell the flavors running down my throat like a race. Pasta is warm, soft, and light, I can explore all of the ingredients in the pasta.
Some of the different things between steak and pasta is that there are cooked differently. Pasta is cooked by boiling water over a steaming stove.The way a steak is cooked is by a gas, electric, or a charcoal grill. Steak and Pasta are also served differently. The steak can be made rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, and well done.I prefer medium well, not to hard and not to chewy. For pasta, there is al denta which is when the noodles are not cooked all the way, and then there is normal pasta, which is what I like, not to floppy and not to crunchy. The places were you get them are different too. When you want to buy steak at a restaurant, sometimes the place is like a half restaurant and half bar, with lots of t.vs all over, and there is nice restaurants with beautiful tables and silverware. With pasta, I can say, that you can buy it anywhere, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, sports restaurants, you name it.
Well we talked about pasta and steak a lot and how they are alike and different from each other. I enjoy eating them both very much. So is it Steak and Pasta or Pasta and Steak? I love them both equally, if someone combined steak and pasta as one food, that would be my favorite food in the whole wide milky way. What is your favorite foods?

Story of My Life!
Have you ever noticed that two random things can be really alike, yet very different? I did. I just had to look at the story of my life. It made me think about comparing people to something I really like - books. It doesn't seem likely that there are a lot of similarities between the two, but trust me, there's plenty! However, books and people have their differences too.
Books and people do have similarities. Such as, we both have "covers" to hide our stories or history under - people's "covers" aren't made of paper, but they can certainly hide the story.
Both books and people have stories to tell, and they can be surprising or unexpected. And characters in a book can show feelings, just like people. Finally, if we're broken or ripped, it takes awhile to mend either of us back together.
Books are simply paper and ink that tell a good story. But like the process of a person's life, books are a lot of work to get told. Books start with the writer's ideas, then go writing, editing and rewriting, before finally publishing, and the work of selling a manuscript!
People are made of flesh and blood, different from books. Even so, books can speak and communicate with you, although not verbally. People communicate both verbally and non-verbally. We can talk with our hands, our face and actions, as well as with words, just like books do, even using all the messaging systems we've devised.
It was surprisingly easy to find similarities for these two very different topics - easier than I would have thought, anyway! Differences were pretty easy to find too. While books are inanimate objects, humans are living, breathing creatures who create life stories, not just tell them!

Play Time or Learn Time
Do you like dogs and hate school or do you hate dogs and like school? Do you hate both or like both? Do you think dogs and school have nothing in common? Well you thought wrong!
lets start with the differences to make it easier to find the similarities. How about we start with dogs. Dogs are adorable, loyal and need to be taken care of. They live in your home and you take them to the vet. Some people agree with me that dogs are the best pet to have while others don't agree. I think dogs can be fun but sometimes annoying.
Now on to school. School can be fun but not all the time! School has kids,kids, and more kids all over the place! They are all carrying books, binders , pencils,and pens. Most kids ride the bus while others walk or there parents take them to and from school. In my opinion school is not my favorite. Almost everyday you come home with homework!
Now the similarities. For a dog you are the teacher and you have teachers at school. Dogs have to go by rules like dint drink ou the toilet bowl. We also have rules. At school you might learn about fractions. Dogs might learn its bad to chew on dads new (expensive) shoes. Last you can get a dog at any age and go to school at any age.
Now you know how dogs and school are alike. So now you can learn even when you play fetch with your dog, mans best friend!

Books -vs- Posters
Have you ever thought about how books and posters
are the same, how about when they are totally different?
Are you interested, because that's what I'm going to be
talking about.
Your probably wondering what books and posters have
to do with anything, well books have pictures that can
give you information just like posters can. Posters and
books can also give lots of important information.
Did you ever think about their differences though? Books
have pages of information when posters only have 2-3
paragraphs for each piece of information. Books are
descriptive when posters can be descriptive but books
are way more descriptive!
Now that you know my facts about them here's my
question... which one do you like best?

Vacuum v.s. Dog
Did you ever notice that a dog and a vacuum have some similarities? No? I didn't think they did either before I actually thought about it. Let me tell you some similarities and differences between a dog and a vacuum.
Lets start off with dogs and how different they are compared to vacuums. First, dogs are living mammals. You have to feed them and take them on walks. Yes, dogs need exercise too! You also can cuddle with them and pet them. (You can with a vacuum but that would be weird!) Dogs have fur that have fur that can be many different colors and textures like black, grey, white, brown, and curly, smooth, shaggy, and many more. Dogs need bathes and haircuts just like humans. Lastly, dogs have human features such as eyes, mouths, ears, and noses.
Now, lets see how different vacuums are from dogs. First, vacuums are not living. (duh!) They are electronical and they usually only work if they are plugged into the wall. You have to change the bag in them so it doesnt overflow. Vacuums are usually made of plastic and have a hard texture. Lastly, vacuums have a switch on them so you can turn them on or off.
Why would I compare vacuums and dogs you say? Why out of all think would I pick these two very different things? Well, I did because I want you to know that they have similarities too! Here are a few. They both clean up after you. A vacuum cleans up dirt that you might track in from your shoes. A dog might clean up some grape jelly after you spilt it on the floor. They both have a tail. You're thinking they dont but they do! A dog has a tail by its backside. A vacuum has a long tube like thing that you use to clean the corners of your house- thats its tail! And lastly, they both make loud noises. a dog barks and a vacuum.... VVVVVVVVVVMMMMMMS!
So now do you believe that vacuums and dogs have similarities? Well I do! And I know that they have differences too! I hoped you learned that two completely different things might have some things in common if you really think about it. Thanks for reading my essay.

The Amazing Race vs. Survivor
Have you ever watched my favorite shows? They are Survivor and The Amazing Race. If you haven’t seen them, Survivor is a show where players are put into tribes with other people you’ve never met in your whole life and have to work together to complete challenges. The challenges in Survivor are usually physical activities/races or puzzles. All challenges are outdoors. The team that loses the immunity challenge has to go to tribal council where someone will be voted off by their own tribe. They are with their tribe until there are only around ten people left. Then they merge tribes and are all one big tribe but are against each other in individual challenges. People make alliances with each other to make it interesting. Another important part of Survivor is that there is a hidden immunity idol at your camp that you find that will save you if you’re about to get voted out. Survivor is a game of strategy. Lots of people backstab and lie so they can get closer to getting the prize which is $1,000,000!
The Amazing Race is a race where all teams travel to different cities and countries around the world. First you are in teams of two, usually with a family member or a friend who you have met before. You have to complete difficult challenges that may get the teammates mad at each other, which other teams will take advantage of and complete the series of challenges quicker. Each task the teams are asked to perform are all drastically different. The last team to get the challenges done may be eliminated. If you don’t get eliminated then you continue on to the next set of challenges on the next day. If you don’t get eliminated but end up in last place, then you do the same difficult challenges but they would have an extra task to complete and try to beat the other teams. If you are caught cheating or forgot to do something in the race you either get a certain time penalty or you have to go back and do the task over again. The winner of The Amazing Race also wins $1,000,000. Which one do you think sounds more exciting?
Survivor and The Amazing Race are similar because the participants are divided into teams. Both of the prizes for winning are $1,000,000. They both are reality TV shows. Contestants’ are selected by the producers of the shows based on audition tapes. Both shows have challenges the players have to complete to move on in the game. You need to use teamwork if you want to go far in each game. Contestant(s) that are out can’t just choose if you want to stay in or not. They both have different seasons, hosts are both guys, and take place outside the U.S. Contestants on the shows are usually over the age of eighteen and range up to grandparents age.
These shows are both action-packed and exciting, which is why they are two of my favorites. If these shows interest you, Survivor is on at 7:00 pm on Thursday, and The Amazing Race is on at 7:00 pm on Sunday. You should watch them. I bet one of them will become one of your favorite shows. Tell me which show is your favorite and compare them. You will be surprised at how many similarities there are between them, I know I was.

War of The Worlds
Do you like Orange Chicken or meatballs? I love them both! That's why I decided to compare and contrast Chinese and Itailian food. I just love to go to Chinese and Italian restaurants and try foods or eat foods I love.
You may not have realized how many similarities there are between two completely different countries. Well, first of all they are both foods that did not orginate in America, but you can find Chinese and Italian restaurants all over the United States. Americans eat these delicious and amazing foods.
Chinese food is very different from your traditional hamburger and fries. First of all Chinese food comes from China. It is also packaged with symbols. If you go shopping at your regular Hy-Vee, you are going to find a whole case of Chinese food. Usually you order out Chinese food since it is hard to make because it needs such extreme heat. Some kinds of Chinese foods are Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Egg Rolls, and Crab Rangoons.
Italian food has been highly influential on the American diet. Although it orginates in Italy. Italian foods could be anything to spagetti, pizza, pastas, and pitas. Wine is also a major part of the Italians diet. Espresso coffee is also a major part of a typical Italian person. Even though coffee orginated from Ethiopia. A majority of the pasta you eat for lunch or dinner comes from Italy.
So Chinese and Italian food have some simalarities you wouldn't necassarily think of off the top of your head. But then again they are still very different and don't originate from America.

Baseball or School
"Johnny time to come in for dinner'' Johnny's mom yelled.
"One more hit" Johnny yelled back. "CRACK" the sound of the ball hitting the bat.
"Hey Jake want to hang out after school?"
"Mr. Wail sit down in your seat!!"Yelled Mrs. Vallgen
Those two scenes are from baseball and school which you hear everyday. Baseball and school are a lot alike if you think very hard. one similarity is you are with your friends. Secondly you are learning something. Last but not least you are always thinking a step ahead like in baseball when your in the field you always have to think "If the ball is hit to me what am I gonna do with it? As with school your always thinking ahead by if you have a project what am I gonna do and when am I gonna do it. They also have some differences one is baseball is active and school is not. Secondly in school you wear clothes and in baseball you wear a uniform. Last but not least baseball is fun and school is boring.
"One more hit" Johnny yelled back. "CRACK" the sound of the ball hitting the bat.
"Hey Jake want to hang out after school?"
"Mr. Wail sit down in your seat!!"Yelled Mrs. Vallgen
Those two scenes are from baseball and school which you hear everyday. Baseball and school are a lot alike if you think very hard. one similarity is you are with your friends. Secondly you are learning something.

Questioning the Experts on Channel 13
"Hello and welcome back to Question the Experts. Tonight's question is... how are the ocean and the sky alike and different? Here is Lachlan with some answers."
"Thanks Tom. First of all people think that the sky is blue and don't know why. It is caused by the way Earth's atmosphere scatters light from the sun. The ocean-"
"That is all the time we have. Tune in next-"
"Give me it! As I was saying the ocean is a lot smaller than the sky."
"Where am I? Who are you? Who am I?"
"Oh man it looks like Tom has amnesia."
"What's amnesia?"
"It's... never mind. The ocean is home to many animals."
"What is an animal?"
"BE QUIET! The sky is not a place for animals to make their homes unless their homes can fly, but I doubt it. The ocean and the sky are made out of mostly the same elements like hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. See you next time on Question the Expert. If you want to know more go to our website."

Tacos can have a hard shell for the taco of a soft shell. I prefer soft shell. Tacos can have meat,lettuce,tomatoes and more. Usually you can get tacos at every Mexican restaurant. Since tacos are Mexican food.

Now i will talk about the similarities of tacos and sandwiches. They can both have meat in them. you can eat both of them. you can put a lot of different stuff in both of them.

2 major clothes brands
Have you ever noticed the good parts and bad parts about American eagle and Aberocombie? I like both brands, but there are also reasons I don't like them. First off Aberocombie put very strong colonel on there clothes. But some times they put to much on. I can tell because sometimes I walk by their store and and I think to my self "what is that smell?"
But to enter Amborcrombie is fascinating. You see a lot of different clothing style and colors. usually the backdrop is gray. Also the people who run that store put music on. but it really quite and I never really did understand that. so to me it is very down-beat. Aberocombie also has a trade mark they usually put that trade mark on some of their clothing. It is the A&f they put on T-shirts.
American eagle has almost all their jeans ripped. That might leave people cold. But other people (like me) think it is cool. Entering American eagle is much more up-beat. they play a lot of the music I like to listen to. It is also somewhat louder so i can hear it. A trade mark of American eagle is obviously is the eagle and the
they put on their clothes. that is why I like them. But that was just my opinion. What is yours?

Do you like video gorts?
Do you like video gorts? If your wondering what video gorts is it's a mixture between sports and video games. Now do you understand what that is? I love doing these to things. Since I love them so much I wanted to compare them.
A similarity of sports and video games is that both of them can be easy and both of them can be hard. Another similarity is that you can play sports with both of them. They have sports video games. My favorite sports video games are the EA sports. One more similarity is that there are many choices on playing or doing these two things.
When there are similarities, there are differences. Its real life when it comes to sports but in video games it is realistic but not real. In video games you have to use a controller,but when you play sports you don't use a controller. One more difference is that in video games you don't win awards and in sports you actually do win awards.
Those are a little bit of similarities and differences of sports and video games.
what (car) are you?
I have only one question for you. Do you like the 2010 Honda Odyssey or the 2010 Corvette. My job is to tell you about these two awesome cars.
When I think of the Honda Odyssey I think of a vacation and a family. When I think Corvette I think of a person that is cool and rich.
Odysseys are good for vacations because they have a roomy interior with a lot of storage space. These vans can come in many different colors and you can get a small TV screen for the inside of the car. This car also has side doors in the back that slide so the wind can't slam them shut.
Corvettes are a good car that can be put on show and to show off your money. This is a good car if you are single or if there are 2 of you. These cars have moderately loud V8 engines and are really fast. These cars have very good aerodynamics.
I have told you every thing that you need to know except my opinion and it is the corvette because they are fast and Furious.

Leap or Kick
Have you ever played soccer or did dance? Well I have! Both are very fun sports. But there different in many ways. It might be very different but the differences are what makes it fun!
Now lets take a look at dance. Dance is usually considered a sport. So is soccer. You can get a great exercise by doing many different types of dance. But you can also get an exercise from playing soccer. Dance you usually have to have a certain type of shoe. For soccer you have to also wear a certain type of shoe. You can do competitive dance if you want. You can also join competitive soccer.
Soccer is on grass. Dance is usually in a dance studio. That's just one difference. In dance you wear costumes when you perform. In soccer you wear a jersey when you have a game. Also in soccer your running around more. I could probably list a lot more differences but that would take a while.
Soccer and dance are pretty different sports. But there both very fun. I like them both even though they have quite a few differences. But they do have some similarities. Even though there different you should try playing soccer and dance!

i-Touch v.s. Books
There's one main way to read, a book. But in Mr. Goerend's 5/6 English class, we are allowed to use our i-Touches to read. I like both ways, but i-Touches are more fun in my opinion.
Books are a good way to read. Well a great way. There are not many ways to read at all, and all most everyone uses books. Books are very easy to get. But you would have to go to a library or store to get it. And you have to keep going back to get different books. Compared to the i-Touch, reading a book seems boring.
The i-Touch is another great way to read. One of the few. People enjoy using the i-Touch instead of a book. Sliding is much more fun than flipping a page. You can pick from a selection of books at the touch of a finger, no need to go to a store. But not every one has an i-Touch. They are also expensive, so if a student were to lose it there would be trouble. Student could also just play game instead of reading.
Both ways are great ways to read. They both have their pros and cons. Like me, most people prefer the i-Touch to read.
