Try The Thing, Incredible Hulk, and The Tick.

Or maybe Heath Cliff, Garfield, and some other random cat.

So many people write about serious issues and hot topics in todays news. See about seperateing yourself fromt them and find something humorious.

If anything else, see about comparing old school to today. In Sci Fi and Fantasy, we use to use pupets and clay figures. Now it's all computer animation. Pick a cartoon, a clay/puppet figure, and a computer animation of today.

An example, Micky Mouse, Gumby, and Larry the Cucumber from Veggie Tales.

Something will pop up.

What was similar about the spouses, what was not?

If you can make your professor laugh that'll get you an "A" instead of a "B".
Works every time.

Do you like vampires?

Make a comparison between these three; Nicholas from Forever Night, Angel from Buffy/Angel, and the new vamp on Moon Light.

Do you like Aliens?

How about these three shows. American Dad, Alf, and 3rd Rock From The Sun.
Compare how they live among us and with families.

What about Dectective/Police teams?

X Files, Starsky and Hutch, Dragnet.

Women Hero shows?

Wonder Woman, Bionic Woman, and the character Jessica Alba played. 

Pick something you like and you'll have more fun with your paper.

Status: offline 		Lets compare chalk and cheese because they are supposed to be different but no one has told me why.

You can’t write with cheese that’s for sure
You can’t eat chalk
Chalk does come in the yellow variety
Chalk lasts longer than cheese
Cheese is squishy but chalk is crumbly

Apart from that they are identical are they not?

You don't need a purpose, you have an assignment.

And it's 'compare'. Profs like correct spelling and grammar too. They need to be laughing at the right thing.

Is it the comparing and contrasting that has you worried or the picking subjects to write about?

grammar
structure
voice
vocabulary
style
