Write an essay of at least 750 words that compares the trans-Atlantic voyages of Olaudah Equiano and William Bradford. Use details from each narrative to describe both the objective conditions of the voyage and the subjective reactions to these conditions. Note particularly how each man includes or omits different experiences in the narrative and what you can infer about each man's experience. Follow each step in the writing process, and revise your essay as needed. Be sure to follow the rules of conventions, and use MLA guidelines for in-text citations and a works cited page.

What type of writing is demonstrated in this excerpt by general philip henry sheridan? at once i set about preparing for the examination which precedes admission to the military academy, studying zealously under the direction of mr. william clark; my old teachers, mcnanly and thorn, having disappeared from somerset and sought new fields of usefulness. the intervening months passed rapidly away, and i fear that i did not make much progress, yet i thought i should be able to pass the preliminary examination. that which was to follow worried me more and gave me many sleepless nights; but these would have been less in number, i fully believe, had it not been for one specification of my, outfit which the circular that accompanied my appointment demanded. this requirement was a pair of "monroe shoes." now, out in ohio, what "monroe shoes" were was a mystery—not a shoemaker in my section having so much as an inkling of the construction of the perplexing things, until finally my eldest brother brought an idea of them from baltimore, when it was found that they were a familiar pattern under another name. a. research essay b. persuasive essay c. biography d. memoir
