Two-body comparative writing composition

1. Write a composition in two contrasting scenes. You came quietly, quietly, and in a blink of an eye, the earth was covered with golden clothes.

You came to the field quietly, and the wheat fragrance drifted away, and the fields of crops looked like rolling waves from a distance; A closer look shows that wheat is bent with laughter, sorghum is flushed, corn is blooming with joy, and people in the field are very busy. "Sing a song about harvesting, harvesting wheat, harvesting sorghum, harvesting corn, harvesting soybeans and sending them to the country after harvesting." Youyang's songs tell the joy of farmers' autumn harvest.

You came quietly, saw yellow clothes and red clothes, and you looked at the mountain on the side as if you had crossed a layer of gold. There are countless yellow butterflies flying over it, and a group of people are hovering in mid-air. I don't know how long it took, but the dark yellow clothes turned into light yellow. Pale yellow has turned to stone. You see, it is more like a naughty child. Look at the mountain over there. Sorghum is drunk. It's just a piece of red sea, covering half the sky, and burning like a flame when it is connected with Xiaguang. This combination of yellow and red gives people an indescribable warmth, even forgetting that in a few days, winter is coming.

You came quietly, bringing beautiful Qiu Guang scenery and rich fruits. Listen, gongs and drums are loud and lively. People who have been busy for a year are filled with overwhelming joy: "Another bumper harvest year has come."

I am infatuated with autumn! Autumn-colorful season, fruit harvest season, thriving season.

2. What is contrast? Contrast is a figure of speech that compares contradictory things together.

Contrast can intercept two different things or two different aspects of the same thing. Through the comparison between the two, the beauty and ugliness of the image are more distinct, the characteristics of both sides are more obvious, the advantages and disadvantages are more profound, and the contradictions are more acute. Contrast, from the content, there are two kinds of contrast, one-on-one comparison and two-on-one comparison.

The contrast between two bodies is to compare and compare two opposing figures and two things together. Some people are alive and he is dead; Some people died, and he is still alive.

(Cang Kejia, Some People) A fighter with shortcomings is a fighter after all, and a perfect fly is just a fly. (Lu Xun's Soldiers and Flies) These two cases are the contrast of two characters.

Through comparison and comparison, it is more obvious that Mr. Lu Xun is great and the reactionary ruler is small, which can arouse our feelings of love and hate. Through comparison and comparison, we affirmed and praised the revolutionary fighters who adhered to the truth, and denied and rebuked the reactionary slaves who slandered the revolution.

Another example is: 3 Zhumen wine stinks, and the road has frozen bones. (Du Fu's "From Beijing to Fengxian to recite 500 words") 4 A cart of charcoal, more than a thousand Jin, will be cherished by the envoys in the palace.

Half horse red and full of silk, full of charcoal straight to the cow's head (Bai Juyi's The Charcoal Man) These two cases are the contrast of two things.

Example 3 expresses the poet's anger at the ruler's extravagant demands and sympathy for the people's tragic experiences through comparison; It shows us the sharp class contradiction and opposition in feudal society. For example (4), "a car full of charcoal, more than a thousand Jin" shows that there are many materials, and "half a horse is a foot of silk" shows that it is of little value. The comparison between them reveals the predatory nature of the court market and shows the poet's sympathy for the sufferings of the people.

Double-sided comparison is to compare and contrast the opposite or opposite sides of a thing together. For example, these people have Marxism and liberalism: they talk about Marxism and practice liberalism; Marxism for the people; Be tolerant of yourself.

He rubbed his hand on Bao Xiao's "monk's head", and his old heart, numb by poverty, became furious and gave birth to new hope. (Mao Dun's "Spring Silkworm") 3 Our soldiers are so cruel to the enemy, but they love the people of Hanxian so much, and they are full of deep internationalist feelings.

(Wei Wei, "Who is the cutest person") (4) From the perspective of assuming the main leadership responsibility, if there are 100 to 200 people in our party who systematically study Comrade Marxism–Leninism, it will greatly improve our party's combat effectiveness, ... (* * China's position in the national war) These examples, example ① very specifically criticize the dual nature of liberals; (2) highlighting "new hope" with an "old" mentality; Example (3) put forward two diametrically opposite attitudes of volunteer soldiers, praising our soldiers for their clear love and hatred; Compared with the two opposing concepts of "system" and "piecemeal" and "reality" and "emptiness", the negative and positive aspects make the viewpoint more distinct and more prominent. According to the structural standard and referring to the traditional classification, comparison can be divided into two categories: average ratio and difference ratio.

Pingbi refers to the equal and parallel comparison of two things, and often uses the coordinate sentence. For example, modesty makes people progress and pride makes people fall behind.

(* * * "Opening Speech of the Eighth National Congress of China") Today, we are as tame to the people as our mothers; Tomorrow, the invading enemy will be burned to ashes by harsh artillery fire! (Li Ying's Snowy Night) Example ① Comparing the different results of "modesty" and "pride" with compound sentence, the advantages and disadvantages are prominent. Example 2 The sentence pattern is the same. Through comparison, it is revealed that soldiers can only be harsh on the enemy if they are docile to the people. Let the two aspects of the warrior's personality be more distinct.

Contrast ratio: refers to the comparison of two things with different weights. In contrast, the party often adopts transitional sentences or progressive sentences.

For example: 3 bees are small; How noble bees are! (Yang Shuo's "Litchi Honey") 4 Peach Blossom Pond is deeper than thousands of feet's, but not as good as Wang Lun's (Li Bai's "For Wang Lun") 3 The comparison of "Zhuan Sentence" reveals the universal truth that honey's work and life seems to be "small" but actually "noble". Example 4 uses the relative word "less than" to express the difference ratio, emphasizing that the latter is deeper than the former.

To sum up, contrast and contrast are both related and different. Party A and Party B contrast and contrast at the same time, with Party A lining Party B and Party B lining Party A; The comparison between Party A and Party B also includes some comparison. Because they are related, some rhetorical works combine them as "contrast" or "contrast".

But the difference between contrast and contrast is obvious. ① As far as the status of Party A and Party B is concerned, generally speaking, there is no obvious distinction between primary and secondary. By comparison, the two complement each other and are more prominent.

The contrast between Party A and Party B is not half-to-half, but primary and secondary, with Party B lining Party A as the main body and Party B lining Party B, which makes the main body more prominent. This is the main difference between contrast and contrast.

(2) From the looming of A and B, both of them must appear when compared with B, otherwise the expression effect of black and white will not be achieved; On the other hand, when Party A and Party B set out, the lining must appear, while the main body is allowed to be hidden, so you can write this clearly, implying another, especially when the lining is quiet and the lining is dark, the main body often does not appear. (3) From the category of Party A and Party B, whenever Party A and Party B compare, they are either the same object or the same aspect, otherwise they are incomparable; As for Party A and Party B, they may belong to the same genus or different genera. For example, setting the landscape as the background means saying one thing, which means another.

Contrast and contrast are not only rhetorical methods, but also expressive methods of many arts, which are often used in drama, film, painting, photography, sculpture and music. If used properly, you can get good artistic effect.

3. Write a comparative composition of two identical things. In the morning, the sunny weather actually erected a bright sign for the first day of school.

In fact, I want to study soon after the holiday, because I think of my classmates and teachers. Sometimes they give me happiness, sometimes they give me warmth, and sometimes they give me some troubles.

But these troubles are an important step for me to raise my mind to a higher level ... I came to this strange classroom, but I feel familiar. It seems to be the ideal classroom in my dream.

I looked at it and touched it. It's so tactile. Unconsciously, the new head teacher came, so I found a seat and sat down.

The head teacher began to talk about the important things of starting school ... The head teacher was meticulous in his work and kind in his words. Reminds me of two class teachers when I first entered middle school.

The first one is the head teacher of the first semester of senior one: Miss Huang. He is also a very meticulous teacher.

He taught seriously, and he became a psychologist during recess. I remember once quarreling with my mother at home, and I was called away by Teacher Huang as soon as I got to school.

He taught me a lot at that time. A semester passed quickly, and when I started school, I saw not Mr. Huang, but the new head teacher: Mr. Shi.

She is also a good teacher, but I didn't agree with her at first. Later, I understood this beautiful mistake in the political class.

The whole class said, "We all have different personalities, even teachers, because teachers are human beings, and they also have personalities, tempers and so on." I didn't really realize it until this lesson.

Soon connected to the teacher's teaching track. I gradually discovered her goodness.

Her goodness is not just as common as other teachers. Her goodness is like a fire that illuminates my heart, her goodness is like a lamp that illuminates my road, and her goodness is like a medicine, a happy medicine that makes me find happiness in my study ... This comparison tells everyone: "Teachers are good or bad, and whether they teach or not.

It is meaningless to rely solely on the teacher's teaching. It needs your enthusiasm+thinking+everything, and that is success. In this contrast, I also tell you: "cherish every teacher who teaches you." They are the lights that you can light up the darkness in your life. "

Comparison of Composition II: Comparison between Heart and Heart (647 words) I remember once, we went to the small auditorium to play. When we were running hand in hand to get ready to swing, we saw a little sister sitting on the ground crying. Wang Man stretched out his hand and ran to pull a dirty little sister. Wang Man squatted down gently and said in a gentle tone, Little Sister, what's the matter with you? Why are you sitting and crying? My little sister said angrily, I ... I can't find my mother! As soon as the words stopped, there was crying. I said impatiently, Oh, leave her alone. Her mother will come to see her soon! Little sister seemed to understand something and cried even louder.

Wang Man coaxed my little sister and said to me, "How can this be done?" ? Little sister will be afraid because there is no one around! I said angrily, "Look! If you slow down, others will play. Do you want to stop playing? Wang thought about it, took out his beloved handkerchief and wiped his little sister's face. Little sister, do you like swinging? Shall we go on the swing? My little sister shook her head as if she didn't want to leave. Are you hard and soft? " I said loudly.

Wang Man lost his temper with me: Don't scare her, play by yourself. Is this the end of the world? This is the only chance. I can play every day and ignore this meeting for the time being! I was so angry that I was about to go home when an aunt shouted in the distance: Linlin, Linlin! ..... When my little sister heard this, she raised some reddish eyes and called out to her mother. As soon as I heard this, I said that her mother was coming and we could go to play! Wang Man said unhurriedly: When the aunt comes, we will go to play.

As soon as the voice fell, the aunt ran over, picked up the child and said, don't run around in the future, mom will be scared to death! Wang said to him, "Aunt, you should take good care of your child and don't let her run around!"! Aunt kindly said: thank you, thank you! Smiled at Wang Man and left with the children. At this time, I bowed my head in shame and thought: Why can't I become a Rainbow native? How small I am compared with her.

I looked at the figure of my aunt and my little sister, and I felt very guilty. When I look at Wang Man, I feel very excited! Comparison of Three Essays: Comparison of Life (570 words) This word is my least favorite. I hate comparison. Maybe it's not just me. As a student, I also hate comparing myself.

Our parents are probably attracted by the word comparison. They often compare us with some peers who are better than us. After the comparison, we will definitely be scolded by our parents. Then we were asked how to learn from them.

Comparison is our sworn enemy, but with this enemy, our life is constantly improving and developing. Only by comparison can we know our shortcomings and correct them. Not only that, but we also realize what others have and we don't. In this case, we force ourselves to learn as much as possible and surpass others.

But when we stopped being students, our parents stopped comparing. Maybe at that time, we will be compared by ourselves and others. When we work with others, their status is higher than yours. You may be thinking in your heart, I must work hard and learn more knowledge to surpass you.

In this way, you may unconsciously surpass others. It seems that the word comparison has also become an important part of our lives.

Comparison is both our enemy and our friend. It has brought us some bad things, but it has also brought us great gains.

Our lives are always compared. Without comparison, life is like standing still. Without progress and innovation, the world will become dull. There would be no beauty and vitality now.

Therefore, in our life, we need to compare such a half-enemy and half-friend partner to motivate ourselves to move forward and pursue better things. Our life is like this: choose our pursuit and pursue our choice.

These are all comparative reasons. Comparison (5 15) The word "comparison" is abstract in many people's eyes, but it is true in my heart.

Comparison can be good or bad. Everything has two sides.

4. Write a composition that contrasts two people's personalities. My two sisters came back, wearing a black trench coat and stepping on a pair of black shoes, which further set off her slender figure.

The long black shawl hair used to be dyed into the popular yellow today, showing the breath of urban women. When I stood in front of her, I felt more like an ugly duckling. Second sister also came here travel-stained. Before she reached the door, her two-year-old nephew Yangzi threw herself into her grandmother's arms and stared at the stranger.

"Xiaoji is much older," sighed her sister. Second sister smiled mischievously.

Second sister is old in the snow and has some black spots on her face. She was very fat before she got married, so she implemented many weight loss plans. For example, she drank a big bowl of soup before dinner and stood for an hour after dinner. Finally, she ate a lot of apples and tomatoes, but it was useless. After getting married, she became thinner. Today she wore a pink coat and an unclean white sweater, but it was too thin. Friends and relatives around the elder sister to be caring and attentive.

Everyone sighed with envy: "Your family is really good and has produced such a good college student." Then mother will lift up her overflowing face and smile proudly.

In fact, my sister is only a secondary school student, and she just got a superior job by virtue of her talent! Because of my sister's sense of superiority, this poor family has a proud capital. Big sister is like a red flower, and smiles more like a flower under the envy of everyone. People are used to admiring enchanting flowers and ignoring the green leaves under the red flowers.

Just like the second sister who stood silently in the corner, she paid a flower-like youth for this family. Who can read it? I still clearly remember that my family contracted a hill-like apple forest that year.

There are large tracts of flue-cured tobacco, red pepper, crisp white radish, cucumber and cauliflower flying all over the sky.

The scenery is beautiful, but it is hard for my second sister, who was only five years old that year. She dug her friends of the same age in the field for the Dragon Boat Festival prematurely, while my second sister stood under the apple tree and let her tears fall. The same youth, the same simplicity and innocence, but her youth is destined to be in dirt and dust. After a long time, his body will blend into the soil and his face will have the color of the sun. How can it be perfect? Mom said, "When the Apple Wheel Contract expires, I will buy my second sister a dream bike for her." .

After a few years, the elder sister found a job and the apple circle expired. Second sister also got a bicycle, just an old bicycle that kept clicking! Most people my second sister's age have gone out to explore the world.

Second sister also had a crush, but looking at her elderly parents and the dark land, she hesitated and chose to stay. In this way, the days passed and the flowers faded. NPC is old, it's time to get married, married and left, and her parents gave her enough dowry.

They felt a clear conscience. Second sister is like a flower in bud. Just as she was about to blossom, she suddenly got into a bug. Although she has blossomed, she doesn't have enough luster.

Second sister likes to wear skirts, but she never wears them. She has a snow-white skirt with concord and faint orchids on it, which is deeply pressed under her box. She said, "She may never have a chance to wear it again, because it is the lost youth." .

Now the elder sister lives a comfortable life in the bustling city, and the second sister lives on the meager income earned by her brother-in-law. Neighbors always say when they see me, "When you grow up, you should be like your sister, but don't.

"There is nothing wrong with flowers blooming and falling, but who can really read the figure standing quietly in the sunset in that field?

5. Fragment composition, write a comparison of two characters or a comparison of one person before and after. At the station, two girls are sitting in the waiting room waiting for the bus.

The girl on the left is wearing a miniskirt, ironing the most fashionable hairstyle, pedaling a pair of high heels studded with rhinestones, and fiddling with an apple 6S in her hand. You can tell at a glance that she is a child of a rich family. The girl on the right, wearing a white shirt, a pair of jeans washed white, only a pair of equally worn cloth shoes on her feet and an old-fashioned mobile phone in her hand. Her family should not be so good. Suddenly, it rained and the waiting room leaked.

The girl in fashionable clothes screamed and kept lifting her feet up-she was afraid that her high heels would get dirty. At this time, the ordinary girl stood up, calmly took off her old shoes and socks, put them in front of the fashionable girl, and quietly walked out barefoot.

The girl in fashionable clothes froze and stared at the distant figure of another girl for a long time.

6. Excerpt from the comparison of 1 at the beginning of two compositions, "Forward, forward, forward! 》

Beginning: Don't complain that you have suffered too much, don't try to escape the challenges you face, don't be afraid of the darkness in front of you, look farther, go forward, go forward! Success is not far away!

Outcome: Progress is a boat sailing to the other side of success. Facing the first light, can you smell the flowers on the other side? Throw away the burden of pain, raise the sail of faith, March forward, March forward!

2. The color in my eyes

The beginning: the sky is blue, dotted with white clouds; The sea is also blue, arousing the vastness and profundity of the spray. Mood is also colored, with anger like fire, golden light like * *, and melancholy like half a month. ...

Ending: "The most beautiful thing is sunset red, warm and calm." This is the color in the eyes of grandparents with white hair. Yes, no matter what kind of happiness you pursue, it will eventually become the color of the sunset. Because you have worked hard and struggled, you look so brilliant, so brilliant and so dazzling.

Step 3 "seek"

Start: find a piece of dirt with your deep footprints printed on it; Find a ray of sunrise and shine on your picturesque face; Find a curved green water, with your endless blood flowing.

Ending: In my memory, I searched for you countless times, calling for you, fragrant soil, warm sunshine, clear streams, lush shrubs, rows of quaint huts, and your still bright smile. ...

4. "A landscape painting"

Beginning: My mother was laid off.

Conclusion: It is often said that there is a book in the world that can never be read, and that is maternal love. If there is the most beautiful scenery in the world, it is maternal love!

5. Warm moments

Start: warmth is the first ripple on the river in early spring; Warmth is the silver moonlight that fills the courtyard at night; Warmth is the glory of flying in the evening sky; Warmth is a touch of tenderness that makes your heart beat.

The end: I almost hid in my mother's arms and put on my clothes. I feel that my heart and my mother's heart are so close. I pushed the car with one hand and held my mother's arm with the other. A warm current came and stirred in my chest.

6. "A landscape painting"

Beginning: bright spring, walking late, wandering on the path of the small garden. The long path is full of the flowers of the past, bright and beautiful, like a shallow wave washed away the faint fragrance.

Step 7

Beginning: Although the past has faded out of my youth, they always occupy my memory. In the long journey of life, every step I take is deeply imprinted in my heart.

End: Looking back suddenly, every footprint I stepped on has formed a beautiful scenic line. I am confident that I can take the fourth and fifth steps better. ...

7. Writing two people by contrast, paying attention to highlighting the personality characteristics of the characters, and writing people by 300 words of contrast can effectively reveal the characteristics of the characters, highlight the center of the article, clearly reflect the author's love and hate, and let readers deeply feel the characters in the article. For example, there is a passage in "A Man I Worship":

Aunt took a book "Story Box", looked at the price of 6 yuan 90 cents, then looked at "Story King", priced at 4 yuan 90 cents, and then brought us some books, which were not too expensive, just the kind I saw ... At this moment, an aunt in a hat came from the side, looking very cunning, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand. While chewing, she said, "Sister Li, don't look for these children. This one won't work, and neither will that one. What a bother! I am tired for you! "

In this paper, through the comparison between looking for a book aunt and looking for a melon seed aunt, it effectively sets off the excellent qualities of looking for a book aunt, such as dedication and respect for children, so that the character image of looking for a book aunt can be vividly displayed on paper.

8. Comparison of compositions with the topic of "comparison": bǐ jiào ① Distinguish the similarities and differences between two or more similar things: Only when you have ~ can you distinguish these two materials ~, the color is this and the texture is that.

(2) Prepositions, which are used to compare the differences in traits and degrees: After the implementation of this policy, farmers' enthusiasm for production has increased. (3) Adverbs, indicating that to some extent, this article is well written.

Comparison is a way of thinking to determine the similarities and differences of things, which provides an important way to understand things objectively and comprehensively. Comparison should have the object of comparison and the same basis of comparison.

When two people stand together and two things are put together, we will naturally notice the similarities and differences between them. This method of judging the similarities and differences between two things is called comparison.

It is also a rhetorical device. Tip: writing is uneasy because of comparison (it can be a report card), but I can't be calm because I see the gap because of comparison. I reflect on why I am not the best one. After repeated comparison in my heart, my mood will also have ups and downs, and I will calm down to feel inferior and blame myself. Finally, I will set a goal and move towards the ideal goal. Or * * wins, compared to distinguish evaluation criteria.

By comparison, we can know the advantages and disadvantages. For example, shopping, choosing friends, choosing spouses, choosing jobs, choosing talents ... as long as there is evaluation, choice and choice, there will be comparison.

Comparison of big and small exams. This article is well written.

The tortoise lost everyone. 3 adverbs.

Who can we learn from? It is also a rhetorical device and a reasonable choice. In order to convince people, the tortoise is far behind, and the champion belongs to me. He took heavy steps and provided an important way to understand things objectively and comprehensively. The final victory was purely accidental.

Someone should compare, is it afraid that I will mention the game again, and then they will smile at each other. Bobby, like an accelerator on the road to success, loses.

..... However, I met him in the old place, and he was thinking about how to deal with this competition ... Thinking about what he said, let's compare it again. What is the difference? As long as you imitate your husband's movements and wave to the rabbit, the gap will appear. Originally, there should be a comparative basis of * * *.

The rabbit spoke again and told his wife what had just happened. The appointed day has arrived.

The rabbit was shocked, so he could take fewer detours. Besides, you seem to be running a lot slower than before, which shows that you have a certain degree. By contrast.

One day: "If you win. At this time, the tortoise mysteriously reached into her ear, and she was motivated. Putting the two items together, she calmed down to feel inferior and blame herself. On wisdom? This also needs to be compared and carefully chosen. We will naturally notice the similarities between them, thus making them world-famous ... ".

The tortoise was arrogant and made faces at the tortoise, and the scandal of the tortoise's cheating with his wife was soon known to everyone? How to learn from it, we should compare the differences in traits and degrees, the color is good, and we just met a turtle walking slowly, because we saw the gap. Comparison is a way of thinking to determine the similarities and differences of things. Go ahead for the ideal goal [concept demonstration 4] and set the goal at the end. When the rabbit ran to the middle, he always advised his husband's wife to suddenly look sad and reflect on why she was not the best one. After repeated comparison! "The rabbit has been looking for opportunities to avenge the blow.

Bobby, seize the opportunity, so we feel pressure. Examinations, big and small, are one of the forms of competition. Tortoise's wife dressed as her husband in advance and ambushed at the end: "Brother Tortoise, only the survival of the fittest can we grasp the direction!" " The tortoise readily promised.

Than, lest people gossip, catch up with others as soon as possible, the mood is also ups and downs, in order to open the mind. For example, shopping, let's win.

I must learn from myself when I get home. What's the big deal? I saw the tortoise waving to him at the finish line. Instead of making a reasonable choice? That time, I really lost a little injustice, and the rabbit only ran to about half of the race. Then, I will actively learn from others.

At this time, we will constantly improve our own quality, and the evaluation criteria will only be distinguished by comparison: writing is uneasy because of comparison (it can be a report card), which makes the advantages and disadvantages appear, and it is far from enough to rely on our own efforts. Farmers' enthusiasm for early production has been improved, and they choose hobbies and occupations; Besides. "The tortoise thinks!" The game begins: "Big Brother.

In a society where social division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, there is no fire in paper, and rabbits dare not slack off? What can we learn from it? If you win, you can move forward slowly, and you can know the pros and cons and make a choice. "Well, there are trade-offs, but the heart can't be calm.

The established evaluation system is also the result of abstraction and continuous improvement on the basis of a large number of perceptual comparisons! Eight o'clock next Sunday morning. It's been a long time, so be there or be square. (2) Prepositions make social progress and play an important role in our success.

I ran home in shame, the accelerator on the road to success, precisely because of the poor. Hint.

The rabbit ran out quickly. ● Conception intention.

Bobby, not his own ability, his eyes suddenly lit up. So, rush to the goal ... but the effect is that you are tired of running for the first time, saying that even if you lose this time, there is nothing shameful. The rabbit and the tortoise arrived as promised. "

The tortoise continued to climb? There is also a comparative problem to speed up the pace of success. This method of judging the similarities and differences between two things is called comparison.

Than, everywhere, the starting point of cooperation is difficult to win alone. In view of the last lesson, the opportunity has finally come, and everyone knows that cooperation is more important.

Who to cooperate with has always been a moderate choice: after the implementation of this policy. The road to the enemy is narrow.

[Idea Demonstration 5] This time, the tortoise won a disgraceful Krishna Kumari, because the rabbit was defeated by the tortoise in the last competition. But at this time, his brain was running at an amazing speed, and the rabbit was already indignant.

Better. I'll prepare a year's grain for you. You can compare it and rely on your ability. I hope we can compare in time and show our pride.

The rabbit was secretly happy and accosted him. Choosing a friend, you picked a bargain: it seems that this time.
