Compare And Contrast Stoowe And Harriet Jacobs

The stories are similar because they both are women. Both wrote and authored their own books/narratives. Also, Harriet Jacobs was encouraged by Stowe's success so, that's why she thought when she could do the same.

The differences, however, are Stowe was born into a family led by Lyman Beecher; whereas, Harriet Jacobs was born into slavery in Edenton, North Carolina. Harriet Jacobs was abolitionists the other was not. Although Harriet Beecher Stowe was the author of the best-selling novel of the Pre-Civil period, however, on the other hand, Harriet Jacobs worked for the Anti-Slavery Office; thus, the work for her anti-slavery writings; not to mention, Stowe could find someone to publish her work not the same for Harriet Jacobs.

The story

of Harriet Jacobs seems more accurate; but, I think what Jacobs endured is a lot of what people face on a day to day basis. She embodies what it is to be a slave or be held in captivity. The hardships, the struggles, the hard aches are what makes it relate more than Stowe's. We're most likely going to come from humble beginnings and may not have the best households but, we still can make it out and be successful.

Along the way, we're inspired by someone because we can still look and think ahead and to continuously seek a brighter future!
