Write two speeches that compare and contrast Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi with Frederick Douglass's Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American
Slave.
The first speech addresses a group of educated adults who are trying to decide which
work to read and discuss at their book club. Your job is not to recommend one of
these books over the other. Instead, you should analyze the style of each work in
order to help your listeners make the right choice for their reading interests. The
speech needs to be about five minutes long.
Your second speech should describe the same two works to a group of fifth-grade
students. Your goal is to tell them about the texts and to get them excited about
literature. This speech should be about one to three minutes long.
Both speeches need to be written out word for word so your teacher can see the
differences in language level and formality. When you present them in class, you
don't need to read them verbatim. You can just list points on note cards or use an
outline.

Mark Twain’s “Life on the Mississippi '' is a memoir of Mr. Twain’s experiences when he was a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River. This book is half a history book and half a memoir of his moments. He basically tells the story of the river, his personal story with the river, as well as the part it had on his life growing up.

It’s a different approach than Frederick Douglas, who wrote a memoir of his life as a slave. He also uses the Narrative to write a paper on abolishing slavery when he tells the reader his journey and battle to become a freeman. He pretty much used his book as a way to get his message about abolition, this is why he uses real names of people or places etc.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
