Write an essay that compares and contrasts the language use in Andrew Jackson's address to Congress and "Samuel's Memory" by Michael Rutledge. Diction, sentence structure, and other concepts from the lesson should be your primary focus. You are free to mention the Trail of Tears and other content in the readings, but it should not be your main focus.

"if we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day. nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation. in order to complete our amazing life journey successfully, it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every curse." anthon st. maarten, divine living: the essential guide to your true destiny. what does this quote mean to you? this isn't for anything in particular, i just wanted to know. : )
