How can I "Compare" to that

The style and information that the essay "Grant and Lee: A Study in Contrasts"uses is unique. It doesn't abide by the rules. This essay is a lawbreaker because it does what it wants in the way it believes should be done. It's approach is distinct from ordinary Compare and Contrasts essays. Compare and Contrasts essays usually follow one of two formats. Format one is when you compare the two topic in the same paragraph, keeping in mind of what you are comparing them for. So, essentially you have multiple paragraphs with the two "items" in each one. Format two is when you compare two topic in separate paragraphs. Usually, there are an even number of paragraphs for each topic. Using a different style/approach of this type of essay, Bruce Catton is able to gets its purpose across and unlike the ordinary Compare/ Contrast essay, this essay uses different amounts of paragraphs on each topic.

Unlike my compare/ contrast essay, this one has a point. It's purpose is to compare two historic figures that changed the course of the United States of America. They had a major affect on our nation and their actions can be a factor that shaped it today. Catton chose to compare these two to analyze how they were raised and how it affected their views and actions on things.
