Anna Quindlen And John F. Kennedy: A Comparative Analysis

I think Anna Quindlen and John F. Kennedy had very similar ideas on immigration. They also had some different Ideas. Even with their differences, both authors made very solid points. For both the overall message is America is founded on immigration.
These authors have very similar views on immigration.They both believe that immigrants played a vital role in the beginning of America. “Then I discovered immigrants were American history,” (Kennedy 23). “In the same sense, we cannot really speak of a particular “immigrant Contribution” to America because all Americans have been immigrants or descendants of immigrants.” (Kennedy 23). Also their writing styles are similar. They both use advanced vocabulary in their text. Although there are similarities,

there are some differences also.
These two authors share multiple differences.They both have very different diction styles. Also JFK is more factual in his writing and Quindlen is more opinionated. Their styles in diction can differ also. JFK has more of a concrete diction, while Quindlen has more of a formal style. “Historians today bemoan the ascendancy of a kind of apartheid in America,” (Quindlen 14). “What is the point of this splintered whole?” (Quindlen 14).
After looking at all of the aspects of these essays, That these authors has have some of the same viewpoints and writing techniques, but they also differ in many ways.Such as their diction, and usage of facts. They also have similarities such as their viewpoints, and writing styles. Overall I think they are more alike than different.
