How do you write a compare and contrast essay?
So I have to write a compare and contrast essay by telling, " how humans deal with extreme situations brought about by environmental, social, and political changes in Grapes of Wrath and Nectar in a Sieve" so my question is what is the format for a compare and contrast essay? How many paragraph do I need, because it has to be 4-7 pages long. Thanks I really appreciate it!!!😄

You have to take similar ideas and state those, and then you have to take different ideas and state those. Comparison is easy. Contrast is how you show you understand what something is when you can differentiate it from everything else.
Minimum number of paragraphs must be 3. Introduction paragraph, a body paragraph, and a conclusion paragraph. You might even say 4, because one part of the body is comparison and the other part of the body is contrast. Really, if you have any content you may need more paragraphs, just so it flows better and it doesn't seem crammed into paragraphs.
