How would you compare Halloween night with prom night? Could you write a compare and contrast essay on this topic? I've put together a list of 50 compare and contrast topics for you to use as practice or as prompts for real assignments.

When you write a comparison essay, you should go through a number of steps before you jump into writing the introductory paragraph. You should first make a list of things that are similar about your two topics, and follow with making a list of characteristics that are very different.

After you make these lists, you'll put together a single statement that states an overall assessment of your comparison. This statement will be your topic sentence. Your lists will provide content for your body paragraphs.

Go ahead and practice!
