Bradford and Morton give us two radically different and conflicting pictures of life in America. What do you think is at stake in the conflict between them?

Organize your essay around a clearly articulated thesis. A thesis is a debatable statement. Support your thesis with textual evidence that you then analyze in order to support your claims. Don’t just quote on run: make sure that your reader has a good sense of why you chose the quotes. Organize your evidence in well-constructed paragraphs that are unified under topic sentences that the paragraphs then logically develop. Use only 3 quotes in total from these 2 articles. Explain how these quotes are connected between each other and why are they appropriate for this essay.
