Answer 4

Check to ensure that you've copied the problem correctly. You've used the word "decade" twice. What course are you taking here?

Answer 5

I was about to say what he said above ^

Answer 6

So I have to write this essay for school. It is in 6th grade Language Arts. It is a comparison and contrast essay. They gave me a list of options to compare and contrast. I picked "decade vs. decade". Why did you call me lazy @bibby?

Answer 7

@mathmale

Answer 8

Do you know the meaning of decade?

Answer 10

10 years

Answer 11

Correct?

Answer 12

We don't compare or contrast decade vs decade. Again I ask you to go back and make sure you've copied down this problem correctly. Is this a math question or not?

Answer 13

Yes, a decade is a period of 10 years.

Answer 14

I just need some comparisons and contrast about 3 will do because I found 1. I found "Things can be different in the world around us every decade."

Answer 15

You may want to put this in the English section. People on this section are looking for math. Okay! :)

Answer 16

Awww nart!

Answer 17

Well can one of you give me at least 1 before I close this question otherwise posting it was a complete waste of time.

Answer 18

I think it would be hard to use this word. Maybe you should pick a word with different meanings!

Answer 19

No, i'm not comparing and contrasting the word I am comparing and contrasting the time in that 10 years.

Answer 20

There's nothing to compare or contrast in 10 years vs 10 years, unless, of course, you state that 10 years = 10 years.

If you could find and share a good example of what you're supposed to do here, that would help others to help you.

Answer 21

@pyxieyt why are you still on here you said this was time wasted.

Answer 22

Oh I just wanted to understand what you were asking! So I could help you!

Answer 23

Please focus on solving or answering the question.

Answer 24

Here are my options:
• one decade vs another decade
• one president vs another president
• The Sound of Music (movie) vs The King and I (movie)
• NASCAR vs Formula One
• living on a farm vs living in a city
• Gandalf (Lord of the Rings) vs Dumbledore (Harry Potter)
• nuclear power vs solar power
• the Ancient River Civilizations of Mesopotamia vs Egypt
• saltwater fish vs freshwater fish
• Greek vs Roman mythology
• WEB DuBois vs Booker T. Washington
• baseball vs cricket
• muscles and bones vs joints and skin
• thoroughbred horses vs Clydesdales
• Christopher Columbus vs First astronaut in space
• the Maya vs the Aztecs

Answer 25

Oh when they said one decade vs another decade I think they are wanting you to select two different decades in history to compare.

Answer 26

I think you should select it yourself and pick a topic that would be in your interest!

Answer 27

Thank you; that helps. You are to pick one of these pairs and compare and contrast them. For example, you could compare and contrast baseball vs the English game of cricket.
Or you could compare and contrast the Maya (Indians) vs the Aztec (Indians).
Yes, pyxieyt is correct. compare and contrast the 1990s (one decade) vs the 2000s (the next decade).

Answer 28

(Banging head against wall) Why, god? Why have you forsaken me?

Answer 29

See you losers on the other side of the mountain that you'll never get to.

Answer 30

Choose whichever pair is MOST familiar to you. God has not forsaken you. Can you find in your textbook, study guide or online some good examples of "comparison and contrast?"
@aelia6th: I warn you not to criticize people who are trying to help you. Unfortunately it is you who is not adequately prepared for an exercise in comparison and contrast. Again, my suggestion would be that you look for good examples of same, learn from them and then try comparing and contrasting one of the pairs in your table.

Answer 31

We're on OpenStudy to help you. Don't break Code of Conduct.
Don't be offensive, inappropriate, or creepy! So avoid:
Insulting, berating, or otherwise discouraging others.

Answer 32

1. My teacher barely taught us about compare and contrast.
2. I wasn't doing any of those.
3. PLEASE HELP ME YOUR NOT HELPING ME (YES I REALIZE I AM WRITING IN ALL CAPS)

Answer 33

@mathmale may have misunderstood the question but that doesn't give you a free pass to be rude to anyone on OpenStudy or a moderator on OpenStudy.

Answer 34

Okay, when you compare two things you ask yourself "How they are alike". When you are contrasting two things you ask yourself "How are these things different".

Answer 35

Who is the mdratr also I DON'T CARE!!!!

Answer 36

First of all, @Aelia6th: the responsibility to learn the meaning of "comparison" and "contrast" and to find examples is primarily yours. Don't blame your helpers if you haven't prepared yourself for this homework assignment.

It's time to end this conversation, since we're still waiting for constructive effort from you, @Aelia6th, and secondly, this is the Math section, whereas your question belongs in the English section. Time to cool off, also. Sorry you're dissatisfied.

Again, @pyxieyt is right on target, helpful, correct, accurate. I hope you learn from her.

Answer 37

How dare you close my question.

Answer 38

A moderator can close a question and a moderator can also issue a warning or a suspension if you continue to break the Code of Conduct.

Answer 39

Because you, @Aelia6th, are going nowhere. Nothing constructive. No efforts to prepare yourself. Angry. Blaming others. Sorry. No soap.

Answer 40

Helpers are here to guide you and to advice you in completing your task, the previous preparation, investigation and further writing is up to you.
We can't do much more.
