She was known for the slaves and how she helped them with the Underground Railroad‚ but these two passages don’t tell you all the same things. They don’ have the same structure either. The first passage gives you a lot of facts about Tubman. “Her abilities to track through the woods‚ disguise herself‚ and lead others on secret missions equipped her well to help carry on activities

He assumes and thinks that keeping animals in cages is normal to them and they don’t mind… He persuades us to think
