Compare and contrast Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I A Woman" with Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address".?
I need to write an essay comparing these two speeches.

This is my prompt:

Compare and contrast Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I A Woman" with Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address." What do these 2 speeches have in common (consider rhetorical style/historical context from which these speeches emerged)?

Also what makes these 2 speeches different from each other (consider the speakers purpose for writing these speeches, the way the speech is organized and the perceived audience for these speeches).

Ultimately which speech do you consider to be the most effective and why?

Please help give me some ideas on what to write. I need enough to write 2 pages. I already have some in mind. Thanks!
