Beethoven and Ray Charles are not like in their personality; for example, not only is Beethoven remembered for his great genius but also for his also strong and difficult personality since in one notorious incident, he became so upset with a waiter that he emptied a plate of food over the head’s man. Beethoven’s friends always excused his insults, moody and eccentric behavior because of his talent. He also was so egotistical that if people talked while he was performing, he would stop and walk away; in addition, he once told a prince, “There will be thousands of princes. There is only one Beethoven.” However, Ray Charles, The father of Soul, is dissimilar to Beethoven, for most people considered him as a fabulous man, full of humor and quite humble since he never considered himself better than others.

In spite of these differences in their personalities, both apparently opposite people shared several experiences and characteristics.

Well,i think the kind of introduction this essay has is funnel and it has six sentences, its thesis statement is placed at the end of the paragraph. This esssay use block organization, of course it has a transition paragraph which connects the similarities with the differences. In the body there are three paragraphs. Regardless to the supporting details, it used some examples and facts.When i read i don't find any kind of sentence which was out the topic, obviously it has coherence and unity.I also find some transition signals such as in spite of, so , because, but, however, therefore and so on. Finally, the kind of conclusion this essay is paraphrase of the thesis statement, but he didn't make any final comment. i hope you liked my essay.
