Compare and Contrast
Art work by Grant Wood & Ben Shahn
These two different pieces of artwork are similar in lots of ways.
First both have a husband and wife in front of their house both
couples looking displeased. The husbands of the photos are both
wearing overalls. There are also obvious differences the couple
in the first photo seems to be better financially and economically.
The couple in the second photo seem poor and not as refined as
the first couple. The people in the first photo seem to have a nice
home, unlike the others who have a dirty log cabin. In the first
piece of artwork the people have nice clothes when the other couples
clothes are dirty and thin. All together the people have some
differences and some similarities.

You have compared the details effectively. You do have a couple of run-on sentences (can you find them?). In addition, I think if you read your para aloud, you will find that the vocab is rather repetitive. Take these short writing assignments as an opportunity to write something very sharp & clear.
