would Puerto Rico and United States would be a could topic do i still have to write the similarities
Yes, you could use those as your topic. There will be plenty of differences and some similarities, too.
If you wish, you can post your thesis statement and outline once you get these things planned. We can help you refine them before you start writing the first draft.
Thesis statement: The United States and Puerto Rico are both managed by the same goverment, even tho both have their same cutomes and diffrent.
I similarities
1.both are us citizines
II Difrences
1.Weather
2.food
3.population
4.atmosphere
5.looks exp buildings
6.language.
Its kinda hard to find similarities
Let's tweak that thesis statement. It needs to include not only facts, but also your position or your opinion, and it needs to be a statement that not everyone would agree with. As it is, it's simply factual. What do you think about these facts?
Here's a really good webpage that shows you how to write good thesis statements:

Your outline looks good, and I think the outline so far and your last statement indicates what YOU THINK about this topic -- that there are very few similarities and lots of differences! (Make that clear in your thesis statement.)
Keep the outline the same, but repost when you've rewritten your thesis statement.
Certainly! One example of a compare and contrast essay topic is comparing and contrasting two popular vacation destinations: Hawaii and the Maldives. Here's how you can go about writing an essay on this topic:
1. Research and gather information: Start by researching the two destinations, looking into their locations, cultures, attractions, weather, cost of living, and any other factors you find relevant. Take notes and compile a list of similarities and differences between the two places.
2. Create an outline: Organize your thoughts by creating an outline for your essay. A typical compare and contrast essay structure includes an introduction, body paragraphs discussing each point of comparison, and a conclusion.
3. Introduction: Begin with an attention-grabbing introduction that provides some background on Hawaii and the Maldives. State your thesis statement, which highlights the main points of comparison and contrast between the two vacation destinations.
4. Body paragraphs: Each body paragraph should focus on one point of comparison or contrast. For example, you may have paragraphs dedicated to discussing the climate, natural attractions, cultural experiences, or cost of visiting each destination. Provide specific examples and evidence to support your points. Use transitional phrases like "similarly," "on the other hand," or "in contrast" to guide the reader through the comparisons.
5. Conclusion: Summarize the main points of your essay and restate the thesis. Offer your final analysis on which destination you believe is more appealing or provide a balanced perspective, depending on your own opinion and the arguments you've presented.
6. Edit and revise: After completing the essay, take some time to review and revise it. Check for clarity, coherence, and grammar errors. Make sure your arguments are well-supported and that the essay flows smoothly from paragraph to paragraph.
Remember that a compare and contrast essay allows you to discuss the similarities and differences between two subjects. In this case, it's important to highlight both the positive aspects and the drawbacks of each destination for a well-rounded analysis.
