Marco Ponce Version 1 Year ?06-?07 CH 6 Comparison: Showing Relationships * Everyone makes comparisons. When we compare, we examine two or more items for likenesses, differences, or both. Comparison often helps us choose between alternative. Comparison also acquaints us with unfamiliar things. 6.1 Selecting items for comparison Any item you compare must share some common ground. There?s simply no basis for comparison. Any valid comparison, on the other hand, presents many possibilities. 6.2 Developing a comparison Successful comparisons rest upon ample, well-chosen details that show just how the items under consideration are alike and different. Such support helps the reader grasp your meaning. 6.3 Organizing a comparison

In the late eighteenth century, there were two particularly detailed writings that depict life aboard a slave ship. ?The Slave Ship Zong? and the ?Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano? can compare in that they both show the horrors of being on these ships and they tell the truth about the horrible treatment of the slaves in the hands of their captors. In ?The Slave Ship Zong? the writer talks about how packed the ships are and how the slaves had less room that they would have in a coffin. Equiano saw it this way, too. He wrote that they had barely any room to move and with the heat, it gave the feel of being suffocated.
