Answer 1

<I don't see THREE provided articles.>

I recommend organizing your thoughts on paper first. Fold a piece of paper in half lengthwise. At the top of the lefthand half, write "LINCOLN" and write "KENNEDY" at the top of the righthand half of both the front and the back of the paper.

Then divide the paper roughly in thirds horizontally on both sides by drawing horizontal lines.

On the top third of the front, take notes relevant to #1. On the second third of the front, take notes relevant to #2. On the last third of the front, take notes relevant to #3.

On the back, continue, taking notes on #4 and #5.

Do the analysis as best you can. This is YOUR work. Once you have your thoughts organized, you are well-positioned to write a paper that responds to your teachers' questions.
