Fredrich Douglass uses logic in his writing. His ideas are clear, neat and uses sophisticated vocabulary and avoiding prejudices.
The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that I suppose the struggle to live has been so great you could not think much about what you fed the mind, but I came away feeling that right there, in one of the biggest and richest states in the country, we had a big area that needed books and needed libraries to help these schools in the education of the children, and, even more, to help the whole community to learn to live through their minds.

Dear Diary,
Once, our whole family had gone on a vacation to the northeast states. And on one occasion, my father took me and my younger sister to a traditional village fair which was our very first experience attending any such fairs. It was more than I had imagined. The whole ground was full of people moving along, with stalls erected in all corners. The stalls have toys, food, clothing, necessities, and even handmade bamboo products. While the fun and activities part was on another side of the huge ground, I was more into the crafts and wooden products. I asked around for the price, thinking that they'll be too costly and I wouldn't probably have it in me to buy them. But to my surprise, they were so cheap, compared to how things are in my home city of Delhi. I asked my father to buy me so many things that I had to make choices.
Moreover, the one most surprising thing was the friendliness and openness of the village people in helping others, even strangers. They knew we were from out of town and made sure that we are safe, and immediately tried their best to help, even by the old women who couldn't speak English. While their native language was foreign to us, that did not stop them from voicing their concern.
My sister got so many traditional dolls, toys, and other art crafts. I think this was the one time we got ourselves so many things. But it was such a wonderful experience being there, and I don't regret ever spending time or money there.
I only hope I can go there again next year.
Here's hoping for that.
Love,
Sneha.
Your answer should include some of these points:
The scope of the chapter is completely different from that of the video. The video is of a small segment of the expedition.
The video’s mood is gloomy because it shows the destruction of the ship Endurance. Although the memoir describes the three men facing extreme hardship, the mood is less dismal because the men follow their plan with determination.
The video is shot by crew member Frank Hurley, and the memoir is written by Shackleton. As the expedition’s leader, Shackleton’s level of involvement is much deeper than Hurley's.
The tone of the memoir is personal and the point of view is first person. The video is dramatic and evokes shock in the audience.
The memoir is a realistic but emotional description of the trek and evokes both sympathy and hope in readers. The video is realistic and documentary in style.
