Use S!.P!.R!.I!.T!.E!. s!.!.!. Social, Political, Religious, Intellectual/Technilogical, and economic comparisons and contrasts!. Pick 2 , and have lots of comparisons and contrasts for each!. Use 1 of each SPRITE in the 1st paragraph then dedicate paragraphs 3 &4 to each sprite!. List a comparison and analyze, then repeat with a contrast! Www@QuestionHome@Com

I myself would compare World War I with WW II!. I'd compare the two because I know a lot about them both, and they were both important and both had massive similarities!. Differences are always easy to find!. They were also both massively complex, so I would not lack material!.
