A COMPARISON/CONTRAST ESSAY SAMPLE: "Being A Snob or A Nerd"

Being A Snob or A Nerd

          A snob is totally different from a nerd in so many ways. A Snob is a person who respects and likes only people who are of a high social class, and/or a person who has extremely high standards who is not satisfied by the things that ordinary people like. But A nerd is a person, (especially a man) who is not attractive and awkward or socially embarrassing.

         Let us have a flashback to our school lives, junior and senior high school when there are many rivalries between snob groups and nerd groups. In addition, some movies which show about school life will always “indulge” you with this rivalry scenes, where snobs as the antagonist, consists of mean guys, even bullies, rich, fashionistas, drive a malibu barbie, get a limo for the prom, and go to a cafe just for having fun, mocking the waitress-nerd, act like finicky people who try to find low-fat foods on the menu, and they usually have the most handsome boyfriend. But usually, nerds are the protagonist who will always seemed as the guys who do not have branded stuffs, unfashionable, drive old-Daddy cars, work in a cafe as the waitress, smarter than snobs and have many talents. Sometimes, they are the true winners in the movie. 

            Snobs are usually high-class people who have enough money to buy everything they want. They can buy famous branded things, such as Prada, Gucci or Chanel, and obviously, they are the admirer of those brands. Snobs are also fashionable, if they are women, who will always wear high-heel shoes, lovely dresses, mini-skirts, sometimes pink-lovers, have beautiful French manicure with red colors on their nails and the purses are always astonishing. While the men are also so popular in school, play sports—baseball, basketball, heartthrobs, have sexiest bodies, and have the coolest cars. Snobs also act like superstars, they love party and dating with some guys, go out to the movies, make some noise, obsessed to be a prom-queen and love limousine so much. They often think that they are superiors, so that they make friend with some people who are in the same financial background and physical appearance. They love making fun of the nerds who are decided as the silliest and the most embarrassing people all over the world. They also creates their images as the confident ones, because they set their lives based on what people think about them, not the real them. 

            But nerds are totally different from snobs. Unlike the snobs, nerds are not popular, many people do not know who they actually are. They also do not have much money to buy everything they want, they are also unfashionable, but casual and simple. They dress up in their own comfortable ways, even do not pay attention to what people think about them, and because they are not a type of image-creators, because they have self-confidence. They do not play sports, because they lack coordination and sometimes get hurt, they prefer to read books. Nerds act naturally, love having fun, do not really love going to parties (except of their beloved person’s and best friends’ parties), laugh loudly, care to each other, just be themselves and have brilliant brains. That is why they are so smart, in a consequence, they often get good marks for the assignments.

              Well, that sounds too much, but that happens in our lives.
