Blog #8: Compare & Contrast

Hello, today I will be demonstrating the two different type of writings of Point by Point and Subject vs. Subject.

Point by Point: University of Buffalo vs. RIT

    As I concluded my college search, it came down to two different colleges, UB and RIT. UB has the large campus that I wanted, but RIT wasn't small either. I would be farther away from home, and would have more freedom at UB, but it would be nice to go to a college in town. Despite both having very good engineering education, UB allowed for more versatility. UB was full of a lot of different people and was more diverse, and RIT has the reputation of nerdy type kids. When it came down to it, UB had more of what I was looking for. Unlike RIT, they had more subjects that interested and kept the possibility of architecture still alive.

Subject vs. Subject: Golf vs. Frolf  

   When anyone thinks of golf, they always think of hitting a ball into a hole, along with other wealthy people. Most people oversee Frolf (Frisbee Golf). Golf is one of my favorite sports, and I strive to play the game at least once a week. Its a relaxing game in which you can go outside, play a relaxing game and have a good time. Adults can enjoy their adult beverage, and it provides a competitive game, that's relaxing. It is a combination of a backyard game, with class. Most golf courses have club houses and other amenities sometimes including a pool or driving range. This luxurious game is most often seen as a 'rich' sport, and prices usually correspond with the different facilities provided.

    Frolf is the opposite of golf, yet similar in sport. Frisbee golf has the same idea of aiming an object and trying to get it in a hole, with obstacles in the way. However Frisbee golf relates to a much different array of people. While I enjoy playing both, Frisbee golf is much cheaper, and sometimes referred to as a hippy sport. Anyone can pay Frolf, and most courses are located in parks rather than private clubs. Golf and Frolf have similarities, but also have distant features that distinguish one from another.
