__organizational patterns__
There are two classic organizational patterns of a comparision or contrast essay. One is called **//block arrangement//** of ideas; the other is called **//point-by-point//** or **//alternating arrangement//** of ideas.[2] Take the Example 1 above for example, one way to arrange your material is to use the //block// arrangement which is to write about vacationing in the mountains in one paragraph and vacationing at the beach in the next. If you mention a particular point in the mountains paragraph, you must mention the same point in the beach paragraph, and //in the same order//. Study the following outline, which shows this kind of organization. The introductory paragraph is followed by the //mountains// paragraph, the //beach// paragraph, then the conclusion; the fully developed essay is just four paragraphs.[2] //A second way// to organize this material is to discuss a particular point about vacationing in the mountains and then immediately to discuss the same point about vacationing at the beach. This is called //point-by-point// or //alternating// arrangement. An outline of this organization follows.[2]
