plato and Vonnegut on Writing (Compare/Contrast Moodle Activity) fter reading chapter 40, please write a paragraph or two comparing and contrasting the viewpoints expressed in Kurt Vonnegut Jr's quote: "The great thing about writing is hat it enables us to be so much smarter than we actually are," and Plato's third argument against, which states that writing "frequently gave a 'false' impression of wisdom - bne that did not rightfully represent the wisdom of the argument of its author." Here are a few notes to help you along with this assignment First, the terms compare and contrast have very specific - and opposing - meanings. Comparing shows the similarities between two or more items whereas contrasting shows the differences. Accordingly, please keep in mind that when an instructor asks you to compare and contrast two items - whatever they may be - those two items typically do have a thing or two in common but also usually some clear difference(s) as well. For example, you will probably never be asked to compare and contrast a watermelon and a gym sock because they are simply too dissimilar to even make sense of any sort of side-by-side evaluation of them Second, while you are welcome to express your opinions here to a degree, please recognize that both a very tangible and particular similarity and difference exist between these two quotes and the ideas that they represent, in other words, much like a math problem, there really is a "right" answer to this question - and many wrong ones
