...This is the fourth strategy of exposition. Comparison is the state of finding the differences and similarities between two people or things. Contrast is the state to put two things or people in opposite positions. To be more specific, Comparison and Contrast essay are developed by two methods including Point by point and The Block. Precisely, Point by point is organized by points. Taking the topic of comparison between your life and your grandparent’s life as an example, the essay should be developed by three main subjects: food, education and clothes. In each paragraph, one subject will be analyzed and compared clearly between two generations. Turning to the way to write a Block, only two paragraphs will be included in the body paragraph. In comparison to the topic above, the structure of a body paragraph can be divided into two main paragraphs. The first paragraph is written about the grandparents’ lives and the other one is describing yours along with comparison of lives. Basically, people can choose any one of those two methods to write an essay.

...ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY Y U K O A O YA M A J A M E S T. M U R P H Y SUSAN HANSON KEY CONCEPTS IN key concepts in economic geography The Key Concepts in Human Geography series is intended to provide a set of companion texts for the core fields of the discipline. To date, students and academics have been relatively poorly served with regards to detailed discussions of the key concepts that geographers use to think about and understand the world. Dictionary entries are usually terse and restricted in their depth of explanation. Student textbooks tend to provide broad overviews of particular topics or the philosophy of Human Geography, but rarely provide a detailed overview of particular concepts, their premises, development over time and empirical use. Research monographs most often focus on particular issues and a limited number of concepts at a very advanced level, so do not offer an expansive and accessible overview of the variety of concepts in use within a subdiscipline. The Key Concepts in Human Geography series seeks to fill this gap, providing detailed description and discussion of the concepts that are at the heart of theoretical and empirical research in contemporary Human Geography. Each book consists of an introductory chapter that outlines the major conceptual developments over time along with approximately twenty-five entries on the core concepts that constitute the theoretical toolkit of geographers working within a specific subdiscipline. Each entry provides...
