 Compare and Contrast the Contents of the
Lesson 1 Materials Viewed with Outside Sources of
Information in Terms of Accessibility and
Effectiveness

The traditional rule about which preposition to use after compare states
that compare should be followed by to when it points out likenesses or
similarities between two apparently dissimilar persons or things.

You probably know contrast in its relation to compare. To contrast

something is to look for differences among two or more elements, but compare
is to do the opposite, to look for similarities. It’s easy to tell the difference if
you remember that contrast comes from the Latin root contra and means
against.

What’s New

Task 3. Compare & Contrast Me

As you continue your learning journey, I want you to read the
lyric of the song entitled “I’m Coming Home by iCarly Cast and Sorry that
I Loved you by Anthony Neely.
After reading, write the similarities and differences of the song in terms
of the message and your interpretation of each stanza.
“I’m Coming Home by iCarly Cast
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming

I'm back where I belong (yeah)

I never felt so strong, man (I'm back, baby)
I feel like there's nothing I can't try
And if you feel me put your hands high (put your hands high)
If you ever lost a light before, this one's for you
(Baby, put your hands high)

 And you, the dreams are for you

I hear the "Tears of a Clown," uh, I hate that song

I always feel like they're talking to me, when it comes on (come on)
Another day, another dawn
Another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math, I'm gone
What am I supposed to do when the club lights come on?
It's easy to be Puff but it's harder to be Sean
What if my twins ask why I ain't marry their mom?
Damn, how do I respond?
What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown?
Shit! But I ain't finished growing
Another night, the inevitable prolongs
Another day, another dawn
Just tell Keisha and Teresa I'll be better in the morn'
(I'll be better in the morn')
Another lie that I carry on
I need to get back to the place where I belong

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world that I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home

"A House Is Not a Home," I hate this song

Is a house really a home when your loved ones is gone?
And niggas got the nerve to blame you for it
And you know you woulda took the bullet if you saw it
But you felt it, and still feel it
And money can't make up for it or conceal it
But you deal with it (deal with it), and you keep ballin'
Pour out some liquor, playboy, and we keep ballin' (ballin')
Baby, we've been living in sin
Cause we've been really in love, but we been living as friends
So you've been a guest in your own home
It's time to make your house your home
Pick up your phone, come on

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world that I'm coming home

5
 Let the rain wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming

"Ain't No Stopping Us Now," I love that song

Whenever it comes on, it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop
Til we back cruising through Harlem, these old blocks
It's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
Drove me away, then embraced me
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah, it's been a long time coming
Lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles
Lot of cars, lot of ups, lot of downs
Made it back, lost my dog (I miss you Big!)
But here I stand (here I stand), a better man
Thank you, Lord! Thank you all

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world that I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming

Let’s Reflect!

What important lesson/s did you learn from the lyrics of the song above?

7
 What is It

When you read a lyric of a song, it will surely help you understand and
uncover hidden meanings of it.

I believe that if you know how to compare and contrast the message or
the meaning of the song, you will also able to compare and contrast
videos/movies with the same title of the song.

Why there is a need to compare and contrast?

Advances in technology make it ever more important that you should

develop your literacy skills in media beyond the printed word. As part of your
learning to compare and contrast, you should be offered opportunities to
compare variety of media. Many of the text you encounter, whether in print
or online, will contain information presented in a variety of ways, including
diagrams, charts, photographs and illustrations. Online texts especially may
contain embedded videos and audio tracks.
There is a need to compare and contrast to illuminate subtle differences
or unexpected similarities. You may think that comparing and contrasting a
movie is a difficult task, but it is not. Just follow the guide given:

FACTORS IN COMPARING AND CONTRASTING MOVIES

1. Visual Effect is the process by which imagery is created or manipulated

outside the context of a live action shot in film making (Wikipedia). In other
words; visual effects are that imagery created once the movie has been shot.
Visual Effect are added later because they cannot be integrated while
the movie is being shot. These effects help enhance the quality of a movie and
make them attractive and explain the impression the movie makers want to
portray. Some of the effects added are like color, light, shapes, etc. these
things are added to make the movie produce certain effects.
2. Dialogue is a conversation between two parties or more. In movies, we see
and hear characters dialogue on various issues. Through dialogue agreement
or settlement can be reached in an amicable way.
When two people or more are having a conversation in a movie there is
something they want to accomplish with their exchange. This dialogue helps
the viewer to listen and understand what is being conveyed. The exchange of
ideas opinions on issues, whether political, social, financial, or social

8
communicate meaning and purpose of the movie. Through these dialogues,
it becomes easier to follow the story of the movie.
3. Characters is another factor in comparing and contrasting two movies is
how characters are playing their roles in the chosen movies. A character in a
movie is an actor who plays a role either fictional or real.
There are movies where there is a main character who the movie is
focused on as the main character. He or she normally has an opposing
character that often plays the devil’s advocate. And there are many other
characters that play major or minor roles but make the story which is being
conveyed in the home.

Comparison- description of similarities or elements that are similar between

the subjects
Contrast – explanation of ways in which the subjects are different

Points to Remember in Comparing and Contrasting a Movie

Films are similar to novels or short stories in that they tell story. They
tell a story. They include the same genres: romantic, historical, detective,
thriller, adventure, horror, and science fiction. However, films may also
include sub-groups such as: action, comedy, tragedy, westerns and war. It is
a multimedia. They are visual media made for viewers. It takes command of
more of our senses to create special atmospheres, feelings or to bring out
emotions.

Along with the literary elements such as plot, setting, characterization,

structure, and theme which make up the text or screenplay, there are many
different film techniques used to tell the story or narrative. Attention is paid
to sound, music, lighting, camera angles, and editing. What is important is to
focus on how all the elements are used together in making a good film.

e. Conflict or tension is usually the heart of the film and is related to the main characters.
➢ How would you describe the main conflict?
• Is it internal where the character suffers inwardly?
• Is it external caused by the surroundings or environment the main
character finds himself/ herself in?

f. Characterization deals with how the characters are described.

➢ Through dialogue?
➢ By the way they speak?
➢ Physical appearance? Thoughts and feelings?
➢ Interaction- the way they act towards other characters?
➢ Are they static characters who do not change?
➢ Do they develop by the end of the story?
➢ What type of characters are they?
➢ What qualities stand out?
➢ Are they stereotypes?
➢ Are the characters believable?

g. Narrator and point of view

Narrator is the person telling the story.
Point of view means through whose eyes the story is being told.

➢ Is there a narrator in the film? Who?

➢ Through whose eyes does the story unfold?
➢ Is the story told in the first person “I” point of view?
➢ Is the story told through an off-screen narrator?
h. Imagery
In films imagery are the elements used to create pictures in our minds. They
may include:
• Symbols – when something stands not only for itself (a literal meaning), but
also stands for something else (a figurative meaning)
➢ What images are used in the film?
➢ Can you find any symbols?
i. Theme
➢ What are the universal ideas that shine through in the film (in other words, what
is it about, in general.

10
Remember!

1. Choose two movies from different time periods but with similar plot lines. For
instance, you might choose two romantic comedies or two romantic comedies or
two musicals from very different eras. Compare and contrast the films with an eye
toward understanding what each of them signifies about their time period as well as
what they show about the genre they are part of.
2. Focus on two movies that generate the same emotion in you as a viewer, such as
sadness, fear, or excitement. Compare and contrast the movies, trying to understand
what they have in common to elicit that emotion but also what differences divide
them.
3. Choose two different characters from within the same movie. Make sure to select
two characters when you actually know something about. Write an essay that
compares and contrast them, focusing on their inner traits rather than their external
appearances.
4. Choose two different heroes from two different movies. Write about what is similar
and different about these two characters using your comparison and contrast to draw
some generalizations or ask critical questions about common characters of movie
heroes.
5. Focus on two different villains from two movies that come from different time
periods and/or cultural milleus. Write about what the villains have in common as
well as what separates them, using your observations to consider aspects of time
and culture in which each villain was created.
