 Identifying Contrast in a text
◦ To find the most significant difference of a text.
◦ Pay attention to the words showing contrast.
◦ Example:
Let’s compare the American big-box shopping experience to shopping in urban India. In the United
States, you usually start by getting in your car. You drive, sometimes for 30 minutes or more, and
park in a lot the size of several football fields, braving whatever weather there is, to enter a
warehouse-sized, climate-controlled cornucopia: everything, from car air fresheners to jogging bras
to fresh peaches, under one roof. In India, in contrast, if you live in one of the urban, upper and
middle class neighborhoods that will surely be prime targets for these big box retailers, almost
everything you need already comes to you. Twice a day in my South Delhi neighborhood, not one
but two vegetable sellers walk the streets with carts. Like the farmers markets that have become so
popular in America in recent years, their produce is seasonal, so they don’t always have everything,
but what they do have is very fresh.
