The key to a good compare-and-contrast essay is to choose two or more subjects that connect in a meaningful way. The purpose of conducting the comparison or contrast is not to state the obvious but rather to illuminate subtle differences or unexpected similarities.

So think of your audience as someone who can learn from your life experiences and write to them and for them.

If all you're doing is following the line of the GPS, and it turns out to be wrong, you'll be completely clueless about what to do next.
