"Hillary's Three Worlds"

Hillary Clinton’s life in Arkansas and her life in Washington differed in terms of activities. While her life in Arkansas had been simple, her life in Washington was complicated. In Arkansas, not only hadn’t she been married to a president, but she also hadn’t been busy all day every day. Moreover, she hadn’t had many official responsibilities. Indeed, her life in Arkansas had been relatively easy. In Washington, on the other hand, not only was she under constant public scrutiny but she also had to host official dinners. Moreover, she helped her husband make policy decisions. Indeed, she had almost no life of her own.

Hillary Clinton’s life in Arkansas and her life in Washington differed in terms of housing. Whereas she had lived in a small house in Arkansas, in Washington she lived in the White House. The house she and Bill had owned in Arkansas had been neither huge nor luxuriously appointed. In addition, foreign dignitaries hadn’t visited it. In fact, it had been a house like that of any other person of moderate income. The White House, on the other hand was both large and imposing and it had a rich history. In addition, it was visited by tourists and dignitaries alike. In fact, it was more like a museum than a home.

(note: in the third paragraph, you can use either the present or the simple past tense to write about Washington. Both are correct)

Hillary Clinton’s life in New York and her life in Washington have differed in terms of people. New Yorkers are busy. In contract, people in Washington led relaxed lives. New Yorkers don’t have much free time and they don’t know their neighbors. Furthermore, they don’t meet their family except on weekends. In point of fact, they are workaholics. People in Washington, on the other hand, enjoyed socializing and they felt that life is more than business. Furthermore, they took long lunch hours. In point of fact, Washingtonians might be a good example for New Yorkers to follow.
