“Note,
please, that this means you need a clear
thesis and argument around which your paper is structured. Vague statements
like “[Text X] is very different from [Text Y],” or “[Text Q] is very similar
to [Text R]” just don’t work and aren’t acceptable. Please find specific points on which to compare
your two chosen texts, and have a definite
reason for doing so.
Unlike
many other papers, you may use outside sources for research in this assignment.
However, please select your materials
judiciously: online sites such as SparkNotes, CliffNotes, Wikipedia,
Gradesaver, PinkMonkey, etc. should be avoided—they are not going
to give you the kind of useful information that more reputable sources such as
books, articles, and scholarly websites (look for .edu or maybe .org extensions
on website addresses) will.
As always, your paper must include a complete bibliography (of all your sources) to be complete.”

As far as the content in the essay itself please focus on the idea of Sovereignty and different definitions / interpretations of (Ex: Domestic Sovereignty & Popular Sovereignty) as a strong / major comparing point between these two texts (IE: In Pass Over, Moses and Kitch seek individual Sovereignty from white supremacy and priviledged denial to govern their own lives much like the Tribal Sovereignty sought by 19th century Native Americans signing the Treaty of New Echota, like John Ridge of the Cherokee Nation in Mary Kathryn Nagle’s Sovereignty.) Although please do not feel limited by this idea of Sovereignty and feel free to explore the texts as needed.
