Differences in Narratives

All the narratives talked about learning something. The were all slightly different though. Obviously in what the authors had learned, but also in how they told their experiences. Malcolm X's and Rose's narratives are told like a novel or story with a moral, while the bloggers seemed to be teaching us how to do something straight forward. The titles of Malcolm X's and Rose's also were different then the bloggers, which all began "How I Learned to..." The blogs are, also, all split into sections, unlike the narratives written by Malcolm X and Rose, which were one constant piece of writing.   

The blogs were also different form each other. Cate Huston's was a lot of information with a little bit of story sprinkled throughout, while Joshua Romero explained his journey in removing Google from his life and ways you can as well. Feross told his as a story with a lot of information mixed in. None of the blogs are very open to interpretation. The other two narratives, however, are deeper, in a sense. 

I found that I preferred Malcolm X's and Rose's style of writing over the blogs. They were more enjoyable. However, there were parts in the blogs that I enjoyed as well. The blogs were shorter and more to the poin, which can be refreshing to read sometimes.
