Compare and Contrast

         















         The purpose of my paper is to explain the comparison between three completely different subjects and hopefully open our minds to the illusions placed in our every-day life. Life, death, and love control everything that we do. We constantly question our existence. How did we get here? Now that we are here what do we do? When will it end? What happens after it ends? The main focus of my paper will be to shed light on the beauty and tragedy of all three of these equally divers topics. Ultimately I want to reach out to my reader in a way that causes them to think and draw their own conclusions.

         During my life time I have come face to face with all three of these concepts frequently. Whether it’s from the birth of a new born child, or the death of a close family member or trusted friend, or a love that was lost. In my mind these things all have their own individual strings connecting each event to the other. I chose these three recurring themes to show my perspective and possibly bring myself peace behind the purpose of their existence. This essay will be some-what therapeutic in a way, allowing me to release my thoughts and feelings while confidently composing an entertaining read.
