rite an essay that compares and contrasts the language use in Andrew Jackson’s address to Congress and “Samuel’s Memory” by Michael Rutledge.

You are free to mention the Trail of Tears and other content in the readings, but it should not be your main focus.
Your essay must have a central purpose and be organized according to points of comparison that you choose, such as tone and diction. Each comparison and contrast that you make between the two readings should be backed up with evidence and should support your main purpose.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
A stated purpose that sets out the scope of your essay
In each body paragraph, one point of comparison between Jackson’s speech and Rutledge’s account
An introduction paragraph, body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph
Examples and details from the readings that support your comparisons
