George felt his heart beating faster. Could this be the chance he was looking for – the answer to the questions he didn't even k
now how to ask? "The Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Plus program," she said, "is committed to help you prepare for study in a medical, dental, or other health-related field. It is funded by the State of New Jersey's Educational Opportunity Fund."
George raised his hand. "So how much does it cost?"
"Tuition and basic costs are covered. That's why this program is so selective and so worthwhile."
"You mean it's free?" he asked incredulously.
“Nothing is completely free, but we've got you covered for the large part of it," she replied with a laugh.
George sat there with a look of disbelief and possibility on his face. He asked another question. "How long does it take?"
"The program is a four-year undergraduate degree program. Students must study a science major in the College of Arts and Sciences at Seton Hall University."
"So I can be a doctor in four years?" Rameck asked half-jokingly.
"Four years is just the undergraduate part," she replied. "Medical or dental school is another four-year program, plus additional years of study after that.”
"That's an awfully long time," Rameck said, sitting down with defeat on his face.
"You'll be four years older whether you go to college or not. Why not fill up those four years with something valuable?" she shot back.
Rameck looked thoughtful but said nothing.
George thought back to Miss Johnson, who had said almost the exact same thing to him way back in third grade.

You would use compare and contrast because you are comparing a black bear to a polar bear and discussing the differences between the two. The similarities of the black bear and the polar bear are they both are bears, they both have fur, and they both are mammals. Some differences are that polar bears lives in a cold habitat, and black bears lives in a forest type habitat. Also black bears have a smaller nose and larger ears.
