I have to write a compare and contrast essay about Detroit and Chicago. I'm going to chicago in a couple weeks, which should make it a bit easier. But I was wondering if anyone could help me out?

I need some examples of how they are alike/the same.

Got the asignment today so, at this point I have...

Detroit has a much cooler baseball team.

^as you can see I need a bit of help...

i would make my whole essay about the tigers, better closer, better lineup, better staff, better EVERYTHING! lol

lol. My teacher would flip out. People get tired of me at school enough (we have like 3 tiger fans in the entire school, and of course I care more than any of the rest of them). It would be an awesome essay and speach... but I don't think i would get a very good grade....

you live in michigan and theres only 3 tigers fans in ur whole school, that sounds weird lol, but yeah i think its safe to say that i am the only tigers fan in my school lol

haha. Yah. I live about 20 - 30 minutes from detroit. Nobody cares for some reason....

that's crazy, if i was in detroit i would be psyched and pissed if no1 in my skool liked the tigers

My best friend is a tiger fan, and another one of my friends is. And then theres me. I bugged teachers all day to turn on the game.... they wouldn't although they watched opening day in class, even though i wasn't there. lol

smart class!

lol. Yah, the teacher let them watch it. and my stupid friends told every teacher that i was skipping... teachers were mad the next day and i was confused for a while...

They probably watched the game to see if you were at CoPa!

lol. No my friends went up to the teachers and were like "Holly isn't here because she wanted to watch the tigers game so she stayed home."

I was like thanks a lot guys...

I would get even with them........

lol. I should, but I don't think I'm going to. I mess witth them enough, and they have so much stuff they could spread about me... it would be a bad idea. lol

Then just be a good girl, and just dream of ways of getting even, but dont do anything.

lol. Okay I will. I'm always so well behaved.... ....lol

thanks iluvpudge!!! And they don't want pictures with the essay, but I have to do a speach (which they decided needs to be recorded) on it once I'm done, so I might use pictures and stuff like that then.

You're welcome!!! Good luck!!! I see you posted that you can't find anything yet. You may have already looked at these, but here are a couple sites I just found, official city sites of each:

They will if they start doing well, lol. I'm subbing right now (elementary) and I see a lot of Tigers fans, it's so cute. A lot of them will wear their jerseys/shirts, even in the winter!!! I see a lot of projects about the Tigers on the walls in the hallways too. One class had to do their "favorite place" and one kid drew the stadium and players. I saw another class where one kid did a report on baseball and he explained the game and had pix of Pudge, Maggs, and Granderson and explained what they do, so cute!!!

Yah, but I have better stuff to do. I have to be at school a lot because of confirmation preparation, and I have to do a bunch of other stuff. And this assignment is frustrating.

a little bit at a time so you don't have a snowball come later!

Thanks for the links!!!

Yah I know. But i still have time....

afterward, then time to

haha. I know they will. They will suddenly become huge tigers fans that never doubted them... and watch every game. (thats what happened last year, they tried to tell ME i wasn't a fan because I didn't know who someone was...)

Oh, and about the projects, I remember a few years ago I had to decorate my teachers door with ALL detroit tigers pictures and news paper articles and stuff. It was for when we had to memorize Casey At The Bat, but it was fun

amazing how baseball can fit into education!
