Question

Read the following paragraph closely, paying attention to the topic sentence (which is italicized).

(A path represents life in many ways.) A path may be well-worn and traveled. Sometimes a path is winding and full of undergrowth. Sometimes a path is very level, and the surroundings are serene. Paths often fork into several directions. Paths oftentimes have landmarks and signs for travelers. Paths have an end.

Write a point-by-point comparison paragraph using the same topic sentence, but making (life) be the subject of the supporting sentences.

Answer 1

Basically, figure out how the 'path' compares to life. Life can be easy (very level) and beautiful (very serene) but it can also be difficult and full of hardship (winding and full of undergrowth). Life can go in different directions and present one with many choices (fork into several directions) and life or things in life can help you realize where you want to go, and what you want to do (landmarks and signs). And lastly, life has an end (as paths do).
