Compare and Contrast:
Memoir and Biography
When you compare and contrast a memoir and a biography, you analyze the
way each writer presents the subject and the events and influences in the
subject's life.
Here are some questions you can ask to compare and contrast a memoir
and a biography:
• What is each author's purpose for writing? Do the authors share the
same purpose, or are their purposes different?
• How are the authors' presentations of events alike and different?
How is the impression you get of the person alike and different in
each text? Does the author of the memoir sound very different from
the person written about in the biography? Does one text seem more
accurate or reliable?
Use these questions to help you analyze It Worked for Me and Colin Powell

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.
