Hello!

Both stories share themes such as oppression, dominance, control, slavery, equality and desire for a change. But the stories were different in their narrative structure and there are many details that differentiates between them.

Virginia Woolf's piece "A Society" is considered to be a short story, wirtten in first person by a woman called Cassandra, who starts to tell the story of a group of girls forming a complete society structure.

In Solomon Northup's piece "Twelve years a slave" is a memoir that tells the story of the author, in its narrative he plays the role of main character as well as narrator. It is written as a memoir, so first person is not recommended.

Woolf’s piece focuses more on describing and developing the actions of the characters, while Northup’s work presents the order and relevance of certain events. For example, Northup makes this recollection:

With the return of spring, Anne and myself conceived the project of taking a farm in the neighborhood. I had been accustomed from earliest youth to agricultural labors, and it was an occupation congenial to my tastes.

Woolf, on the other hand, focuses on the interaction between characters, as in this example:

Not only was she very beautiful; she seemed also in the highest spirits. "How happy you look!" I exclaimed, as she sat down.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
