Football and Tutus

In my compare/contrast essay I wrote about football vs. ballet. As a dancer myself, I expected this paper to be a piece of cake. I thought that all I would need to do is give my readers the facts on how ballet is better and harder than football. Once I started researching both ballet and football, I came to the conclusion that they are both extremely similar to one another but they also have their differences. 

Both football and ballet are very physically demanding but it different ways. Football, the players are constantly being rammed into each other and falling and getting bruises. While ballerinas get plenty of bruises, they push their bodies to the limit in a different way. They stretch until their muscles can't take it anymore. They push their muscles to the point of breaking. Ballet and football both put a tremendous amount of stress on the body.

It was amazing to see how two things that on the outside seem so different, but end up having many similarities that nobody has ever noticed before.
