The two stories Mae Jemison (Biography) and Michelle Kwan (Autobiography) are very very different but at the same time they are alike in many ways. 1 example of how these two stories are different is… Mae was the first african american scientific astronaut in space. The author shows this at the beginning of the book on page 211. This beautiful moment happened on September 12,1992.
The Beginning of Mae Jemison Mae Jemison was born Oct. 17, 1956 in Decatur, Alabama. She became famous for being the first African-American woman to join the space program in 1987.

Another difference that Isabelle and Madam Lockton share is the way they are treated. Madam Lockton is treated with respect and gets things she needs. Madam Lockton can do pretty much whatever she wants to. On the contrary, Isabelle is a slave during the cruelest time in America.
The similarities between Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King shows Martin Luther King was the better defender of human rights. Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King have many similarities. For example, They both committed their lives to supporting civil rights and to fighting injustice. On the other hand one way they differ is that Jackie focused on baseball and making it to the world series while Martin Luther King focused on civil rights and non violent protests. Martin Luther King coordinated the Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which drew 250,000 people to march for African Americans' civil and economic rights in the nation's capital where the i have a dream speech was spoken.
Two Seneca siblings watched as their other sister attempted to learn the language of their people. Mary Jemison was certainly different, but to the sisters, she was family. Even without the bondage of blood between them, they found a connection between two cultures that was different. They both remembered many years ago when Mary was taken in by two Seneca masters, and by this, they learned to love her.
Harriet Jacobs, or Linda Brent as she liked to be called, was born into slavery in North Carolina in 1813. She grew up really happy, unaware of her status of being a slave. When she was 6 years old, her mother died and since then she learnt of her status of being a slave (Jacobs, 9). She had a very hardworking father who was also a slave and a younger brother called William, whom she loved so much. Her maternal grandmother helped to raise her and William.
Dorothy Johnson Vaughan was born on September 20th 1910 and died November 10th 2008 at the age of 98. She worked for National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in Virginia. At the age of seven Dorothy’s parent Leonard and Anne Johnson moved to Morgantown, West Virginia. Dorothy graduated from Beechurst High School in 1925 and in 1929 she later received a Bachelor of Science degree from Willberforce University Greene County, Ohio. Much of Vaughan’s early work focused on flight and the ability of machines to fly since U.S. military strategists believed World War II would be won by the air.
Fours years older than the city of Blythe, Lena Mae Fleming turned 104 on Dec. 9. Born in 1912 in Texarkana, Arkansas, Fleming was later relocated to Oklahoma, as a baby and grew up with a host of siblings. Completing school up until the 8th grade, Fleming began working early to help her mother and saving the money she earned, with hopes of one day leaving the Southwest “The first job I ever had was working as a secretary at a funeral parlor in Guthrie, Oklahoma,” Fleming said. Now residing at the Blythe Nursing Care Center, Fleming reflected back on her 104 years of life and some of the happy moments she’s encountered. Just five days after her 20th birthday, Fleming’s best friend asked her if she wanted to go to California.
In both excerpts, "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "A Part of the Sky" by Harper Lee and Robert Newton Peck they can be considered similar. For an example, they both focus on a young boy. In both stories, the boys' family is very poor. Also, Walter Cunningham and Robert Peck are from the countryside. There are obviously more similarities in the book but those are the ones I wanted to focus on the most.
The memoirs have more differences than similarities in my opinion. While Jimmy Santiago Baca is tellling his story, he uses imagery and figure of speech often. An example of that would be him comparing language to bring launched in an endless journey without
There are lots of astonishing, significant figures for mathematics and science when you look back in history. However, during my research, Mae Jemison stood out. Jemison is widely known throughout the world as the first African-American woman to go up into space. This was a major accomplishment, and it changed the course of history.
Colonial Williamsburg is an enlightening place to admire and learn from, to stand in awe at and take our own stance about. It lets us look back and learn from the past, both our virtues and failing. There are many interactive buildings and exhibits that reinforce this. However, some buildings have superior importance to others. The Magazine deserves the Commemorative coin.
they also have things in common; they both have children and a family and they both work hard for what they believe in. Miriam teaches her child to treat African Americans as she would treat
Finally, in some cases Harriet can be compared to Nat Turner because of how similar they were. Nat Turner was an african american born into slavery just as Harriet was. Both were aggressive abolitionist meaning that they took action for slavery though Turner’s was more aggressive. Although they were both aggressive Harriet never killed anyone over it.
To clear it up, was there greater similarities than differences? To start it off, One of the first sections of similarities that they both had in common was Social positions. Social positions influences social status. Of the two, they of course had their own social positions in their country. Some information helped to find out both of their similarities.
