So...my assignment is to do a point by point compare/contrast essay...

My choice of topic is "friends" compared to "acquaintances".

What are some examples that I can use?
For instance...

-------FRIENDS--------

-call regularly
-love you
-know everything about you
-talk about what we HAVE been doing ...on the other hand...

-------ACQUAINTANCES--------

-call once in a blue moon
-like you
-know only what they have in common with you
--question about what we HAVE NOT been doing

and....what else? It's like I have this whole story in the back of my head, but I can't squeeze it out. I don't want to make this essay one where I am talking BAD about the acquaintances(which is easier to do), but I just want to show the differences.

Any ideas? Appreciate ya!
