Comparing Articles

Comparisons are all about what is different and what is similar in texts. Once you have identified those then you need to think about the reasons for the differences. Possibly a different audience will require a different format or they may have a different aim in mind. What do the texts want the audience to think and feel about them? 


 Also, remember to use comparative language. Look at the example below;


The first kitten is a mix of orange and yellow colours and the second is black all over except for a few white bits.


 This has no comparative language so doesn't count as a comparison. However, this is;


The first kitten is a mix of orange and yellow colours although the second is black all over except for a few white bits.


 Comparative words you can include are:




similarly, likewise, equally, not only, but also,
both, also, the same as, alike, like, just like ,
just as, comparable to




but, yet, however, although,
even though, though, unlike, not like,
not the same as, dissimilar, different from, in contrast (to),
contrary to, compared to / with, in comparison, while,
whereas, on the other hand
