What is a good title for a compare and contrast essay about basketball and football?

Answer 1

The differences between Basketball and football

A comparison of basketball and football

How basketball and football are the same and different

A history of basketball and football

Unless you are writing fiction or newspaper/magazine articles, the best title for your paper is a straight-forward, factual one. If you are comparing and contrasting two brands of washing powder, for example, you would title the paper some variation of "Comparing and Contrasting X to Y." You only need "catchy" titles if you are trying to sell the article to the public.

Answer 2

Only you can come up with a good name! Titles come from the essay, not from some anonymous person on the internet! You're getting this backwards I'm afraid -- you need to write the essay first and think of the title last.

Titles are also not as important as some writers think - your title might change many times between your first write and your final draft!

Answer 3

As you don't state what to compare and contrast it against it is rather difficult to answer.
