Your essay merely states facts. It is written in very simple way with many grammar mistakes which make it boring to read.

You use "he or she" very often. May be you should try to rephrase your sentences, add transitional word to connect short sentences together. Sometimes you go to much into details describing eyelashs and similar things.

His eyes are large - what do his eyes tell to you about his character, mood and so on?

Does comparison/contrast essay require your opinion or attitude? Since I never practiced writing such type of essays, I have little to advise you about them. Reread your essay and think of the changes you can make. I am sure that other guys will also contribute to your writing with important comments.

Never say "two twins." If they are twins, we know there are two:
Mohammad and Nour are two twin siblings who are they U.S citizens that lived in Palestine and moved to the United States of America in order to study. Both have two different characters and characteristics.

The corrections by Azeri are great!! I want to also tell you that the way to make it more interesting is to create some TENSION for the reader. That means you can make the reader interested in some way, so that the reader wants to know what will happen. Or maybe the reader will want to know the answer to a question.

Try this:

At the end of the first paragraph, add a sentence that asks this question: What is so important about the similarities and differences between Mohammad and Nour?

Then, in the last paragraph, answer the question. In the FIRST sentence of the last paragraph, write this:
The similarities and differences between Mohammad and Nour are important because ________________...

thanks you all but i didnt get kevin point?you mean to answer the question for the conclusionand because wht???

Well, you had asked how to make it interesting to read. The way to do that is to create tension. Create tension by raising a question, and then provide RESOLUTION by answering it. Raise a question in the reader's mind.

This requires you to get inspired with an idea. For now, just understand what it means to create tension and then resolve it. Later today, you might get a great idea about how to raise a question in your intro and resolve it for the reader in the conclusion.
