They all relate to making something
Both passages use chronological order and passage 1 mainly presents facts, while passage 2 uses more description are the two statements that best describe the text structures of both passages.
You can see how both texts have a chronological order because both have dates or mention times in the people's lives which are mentioned following the order in which they occurred. In the first text, for example, there are many time references like "when he was four years old...", "at the age of seven..." and "at the age of 15..." which follow a chronological order. In the second passage, phrases like "November 6, 1854", "at the age of 13'...', "by 1880..." exemplify how chronollogical order is followed.
In the first passage there are many more facts mentioned. For example, the time Duke Ellington was born, when he started listening to music, when he started playing the piano, when he started working at a soda fountain, his salary after his first gig, when he formed a band, etc. In the second passage, on the other hand, more descriptions are used. For example, it describes Sousa as a "determined, industrious and optimistic" boy. It then describes how famous he was by 1880 and then mentions several personality traits to describe him as talented, tolerant and approachable.

Explanation:
The reason for the song "brother, can you spear a dime?" comes from the enormous numbers of skilful body citizens, the people who created the country and fought the war and are now in the search of bread.
The aim was not to speak out of the bitterness and misery of the human race, but to focus on the reason for both the forgotten and loss of these people, who were vital to their country.
