A compare and contrast essay is a piece of formal writing in which the author focus on the similarities between two ideas, objects, places, etc., and the differences between them. There are some aspects that the author should take into account when he/she is crafting the essay. First, the author has a clear idea of the effect that he/she wants to produce on the audience (a purpose). His/her main idea should be presented in the thesis statement in a simple but effective way which gives the audience a clear idea of the content and the direction of the essay. In addition, it is also important to focus to the similarities and differences that not only are interesting and relevant to the reader but also provide a new, impressive point of view or deeper understanding of a topic.

Dear Max,
How are you these days? I know you are very busy with your work but, please just spend five minutes reading my letter and I'm sure you won't regret.
Recently, I've seen a film called "The Click". It's about a man who was always busy with his work, like you. He was so busy that he didn't have time for his family. But he wasn't a bad man at all, he just thought that earning a lot of money would bring happiness to his home. Until one day, a strange happened to him. He found a magic remote. By clicking on it, he could make time pass more quickly. At first, it happened to be a very good thing. He could help himself not hear the dog barking or avoid the argument with his wife by clicking on the remote. Then he used the remote all the time. He used it to replace the time he spent with his his family to the time he spent on work. However, he didn't know that he could never make time go back until he looked in the mirror and realized he had become such an old man! It was too late for him to fix anything: his wife had got married to another man because her husband spent too little time on her, his daughter was then a beautiful lady, his son was about to get married and his father was dead. Sadly, the last time his father saw him, he was busy with his work, which made his father really upset. He was so shocked to reckon all of this that he had a heart attach. Finally, the last words he said to his family were: "Family's got first".
I think the man in this movie is exactly you, fust go and see it, you will know that I'm right.You've spent too much time on working, my friend. Please take a rest and go out, have fun with your family. You only live once, so live your life now before it's too late!
Wish you and your family all the best.
Love,
Kellyn

I think the best statement that explains why the author included both of these scenes in the story is that its purpose is to develop the relationship between the old man and the boy. The answer is letter D.
