Answer 2

Jackson's address to Congress and "Samuel's Memory" by Michael Rutledge discuss the same topic, and this is the displacement, or forced removal, or Native Americans from their traditional land. However, the two texts analyze this case from very different perspectives, in particular when it comes to the use of language.

In the case of Jackson's address, the language that is employed in the text is a formal one, which reflects the political nature of the text. Moreover, Jackson uses positive language to show that forced removal is a positive action for the United States to take, as it will open up more land to white settlers. On the other hand, "Samuel's Memory" uses language that is less formal, which reflects the fact that Samuel is a young boy, and that the text is a personal narrative. Moreover, the text reveals a much more gruesome and negative view of this forced displacement.
