What they want you to do is to select one of the given prompts that they have written out for you. Either Prompt One or Prompt Two. 

If I were to choose Prompt One, I would follow the instruction as given. I would Google or otherwise find and read an American short story and also a  historical document as they have told me to. Once I read them both, I would proceed to follow the instruction and compare and contrast both pieces of writing with a paragraph or two as they have told me to do at the beginning. 

Basically, they want you to read and write a compare and contrast little bit.
