Below are two written pieces that both talk
about an old car. The first piece is a descriptive
paragraph or essay while the second one is a
poem. Read the two written pieces and choose
which between the two attracts and catches
your attention and appeals more to your
emotion. Compare the two pieces of written
work by filling the comparison chart below.
Old Car

Rusted red in a field it lies, The seats inside are worn with age,
A forgotten car beneath the skies. A history of journeys once engaged.
Its tires flat, its paint now fades, The steering wheel now weak and frayed,
The passage of time its only trade. A relic of a time long decayed.

Once it roared with engines strong, But still, it sits with grace and pride,
A king of the road, a hero long gone. A symbol of a past that cannot hide.
Its metal now creaks with every gust, And in its rust and peeling paint,
A memory of speed and adventure lost. A beauty that will never faint.
