Variation and Similarity is the given title for our exam. I In this post I will be showing my understanding of this title as well as looking at ways in which I can explore it.

Variation 

Definition

A change or slight difference in condition, amount, or level, typically within certain limits.

A different or distinct form or version of something.

Synonyms regarding variation

Difference, Contrast, Variant, Form

My understanding of the word variation is that features or characteristics can vary massively between subjects and so give these subjects different characteristics.

Similarity 

Definition

The state or fact of being similar.

A similar feature or aspect.

Synonyms regarding similarity

Likeness, Sameness, Parallel

My understanding of the word similarity is that two things that have similarities have many things which are somewhat parallel to each other and so have things in common that are comparable.
