Education Naratives

I can use the articles by Feross Aboukhadiehe and Joshua J. Romero as models for my first paper assignment by using the same less than formal writing style. Neither article had a prominent thesis statement, yet both stayed on one topic. Both articles spoke about personal experiences and didn't include professional opinions. The writers both seemed passionate about the subject, which makes for a considerably better paper. I hope to accomplish the same kind of passion in my own writing. I found bits of humor in each article which I also found quiet enjoyable and will try to replicate in my first formal paper. Reading both articles showed me the different types of educational experiences. Where Joshua's experience took a few weeks and was self taught, Feross's experience took years to completely unfold and he taught himself but also took professional courses. This information can help me find my own experience for my paper. The writers also didn't choose a specific audience. They gave enough information so that most people would be able to read their article without becoming confused. Another trait I hope to replicate in my essay. Both articles gave me a general idea of the writing style I will be using in the first formal paper I write this quarter.
