Answer 1

Answer: Andrew Jackson uses diction very properly in his Message to Congress besides he also uses logical arguments to create a sophisticated tone. On the other hand, Michael Rutledges's story about the Trail of Tears uses diction not so wordly-wise but it conveys the ideas properly making us understand how hard the Trail of Tears was.

Explanation: Diction is the style of speaking or writing as dependent upon choice of words. Adrew Jackson was a in the political arena many years and knew how to use sophisticated words and arguments to explain his ideas while Michael Rutledge was a writer that conveys his ideas well, but his diction is plain. He uses down to earth words telling the audience about the hadships of the Trail of Tears.
