There are two ways of doing so. The first one has to do with the use of words (in sentences):
1. Imagery indicating comparison:
(A) We had to worm our way into the store (implicit comparison);
(B) She's a flower (metaphor);
(C) He's as senseless as a stone (simile).

2. Figures of speech (contrast):
(A) irony; Beautiful weather, don´t you think? (it´s snowing, etc.)
(B) sarcasm: He's so articulate! (referring to someone who cannot express himself at all).

The second way is to use connectives (between paragraphs or sentences) such as the following:

1. Contrast: however, despite/in spite of; on the other hand; but, on the contrary, in opposition to, in contrast to; even though; although/though;
2. Comparison: similarly; such as; for example; that is; at the same time; not only ... but also; besides; furthermore; in addition; in this way.

Comparison: The doctor was like the nurse, striving to give every patient only the best of care.
Contrast: The dress was short and sexy, while the sweater was homely and worn.

Hi friend,
Your question is totally involving the English grammar.
However I try to give examples,is not going to satisfy your need.
Please take an English grammar book of "Wren & Martin" New edition (Latest) and practise yourself.
Good luck
