Compare and Contrast

Have you ever been grounded and felt like you were in jail? Although it might sound like a bit of an exaggeration there are many logical ways of comparing and contrasting both of them. The first similarity in both is that one is confined in a very rigorous manner to a small room. The difference in this case is that in jail you will be behind bars, but when grounded there is only a door which excludes one from the outside world. Another similarity is that in an arbitrary way the people in charge hamper the few things one can do while suffering for one's deportment. There are a few more similarities and differences between being grounded and being in jail, but they are a bit more drastic.
