In Village Life in America and A Confederate Girl's Diary, both young ladies are experiencing a period of war. They both have times where they are apprehensive, and they both need the war to finish as quickly as time permits.
Here are a few similarities. The two young ladies were experiencing a period of war. They both loathed the war and needed it to finish as quickly as time permits. They have both gone through snapshots of dread and wretchedness, yet in addition joy and joy at some of the time. They have both lost relatives and companions that they have cherished. The two females were detailing and seeing what was going on around them and they were exceptionally great essayists as well. Toward the finish of the war, both Dawson and Richards were exceptionally happy the war was finished.
There were likewise a couple of contrasts with the two journals as well. The greatest distinction is that Richards is on the association's side while Dawson is on the Confederates side. Dawson was devasted at the loss of her side. "Thursday the thirteenth came the repulsive greetings of the surrender of Lee and his military on the ninth. Everyone cried". Richards was triumphant at the success of her side. "Lee has surrendered! and every one of the general population appears to be insane in the outcome. The chimes are ringing, young men and girls, people are going through the avenues wild with fervor".
