Essay due in a few weeks and I just need some ideas...Basic of the essay is a comparison of two historical figures. The figures I need to compare are (Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X or FDR and Churchill). Whichever I find easier... The comparison must be based on...

1. Compare and contrast the individuals...(Similarities and Differences)
2. Contributions to history.
3. How were the time periods thay lived in different, and how did the differences affect their actions.
4. What figure had the greater impact on American History? Why?
5. Must not write seperately on each figure, but intertwine throughout the paper.
6. Biobliographical information such as date of birth, family, etc. is not relevant.

(Paper should be 7-10 pages long)

Any help would be greatly appreciated...even if it is just talking points...Thank You
