Contrast is when you show how two or more things are different. A simple example for kids is comparing an apple and an orange!
- Apples: Have thin skin that you can eat.
- Oranges: Have thick skin that you cannot eat.
This simple difference in their skin is an example of contrast. You are pointing out how they are not the same. Another example could be:
- Day: Bright and sunny. We usually play outside.
- Night: Dark and starry. We usually sleep.
Here, you're contrasting day and night by highlighting their different light levels and common activities associated with them. Contrast helps us notice the unique qualities of things!
