Week 10 For some writing situations comparison and contrast is a basic strategy. Chances are that we will confront many test questions and essay assignments asking us to compare (likeness) and/or contrast (difference) two persons, places, or things (texts, theories, scientific processes, and so on). "Classic" compare-and-contrast papers, in which you weight A and B equally, may be about two similar things that have crucial differences (two pesticides with different effects on the environment) or two similar things that have crucial differences, yet turn out to have surprising commonalities (two politicians with vastly different world views who voice unexpectedly similar perspectives on sexual harassment). Your introduction will include your frame of reference, grounds for comparison, and thesis. There are two basic ways to organize the body of your paper. In text-by-text (block), you discuss all of A, then all of B. In point-by-point, you alternate points about A with comparable points about B. But no matter which organizational scheme you choose, you need not give equal time to similarities and differences. In fact, your paper will be more interesting if you get to the heart of your argument as quickly as possible. Thus, a paper on two evolutionary theorists' different interpretations of specific archaeological findings might have as few as two or three sentences in the introduction on similarities and at most a paragraph or two to set up the contrast between the theorists' positions. The rest of the paper, whether organized text- by-text or point-by-point, will focus on the two theorists' differences. Now choose one of the following topics and develop it into an essay of no less than 200 words. 1. Online Learning & Classroom Learning. 2. Living on Campus & Living off Campus.

Yesterday, when Lil' Kim was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for lying to a grand jury, it seemed like

more proof that rappers just can’t stay out of jail. The conventional wisdom is that for hip-hop stars, there’s a connection between crime and credibility. Every time some rapper poses for a mug shot, there is a chorus of commentators ready to declare that it’s all a publicity stunt.

The sentencing of Lil' Kim comes after two months when two rappers faced more serious charges. On June 17 the Philadelphia rapper Cassidy turned himself in to the police, who were looking for him as a suspect in a shooting that killed one man and wounded two others. Less than two weeks later, Cassidy’s second album, "I’m a Hustla", arrived in stores; it makes its debut at No. 5 on this week’s Billboard album chart.

And in May, the emerging Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane surrendered in connection with the slaying of a rapper from Macon, Ga., named Pookie Loc; the arrest came the same day as the release of his new album, "Trap House" (Big Cat). Gucci Mane, who was jailed, has said that the killing was self-defense and has suggested that Pookie Loc was connected to his foe and former collaborator Young Jeezy, from the Atlanta group Boyzn'da Hood, which released its thrilling self-titled debut album on June 21; Jeezy’s highly anticipated solo debut is due on July 26.

It’s clear that many rappers find themselves embroiled in violence, but it’s also clear that Radric Davis had plenty to worry about even before he became a Southern sensation named Gucci Mane: he had previously been convicted on cocaine charges. And while a high-profile arrest certainly won’t scare off hip-hop fans, it won’t usually drive them to the record shops, either. Billboard said the arrest gave Gucci Mane a "big boost on the charts," but in fact his album made its debut at No. 101. That’s not a very strong showing, especially considering the popularity of Gucci Mane’s breakout hit, "Icy," a regional favorite that became a BET favorite, too.

The strange truth is that being arrested or going to prison --even for murder --isn't likely to have much effect on a rapper’s reputation. When Lil' Kim makes her inevitable return, she'll inevitably have some rhymes about her time inside. But although some fans might admire her for not testifying against her friends (in hip-hop, as elsewhere, loyalty counts for a lot), it is by no means clear that jail will help her career. For a rapper, having your name printed in the police blotter is likely merely to reinforce whatever perceptions fans already have。

The Philadelphia rapper Cassidy _____.

A．released his first album after his arrest.

B．was arrested and hence the sale of his album sharply declined.

C．delivered himself to the police.

D．was caught by the police.
