English 101 how i can use these

After reading both online articles, I felt as though I understood what the writers were trying to get across. They provided a small amount of history on the subject, then onto the most significant details that applied to their subject, and in the end telling a story that pinpointed how they learned something. It helped me, the reader, to understand the subject even when I knew nothing about it. 
  
I felt like I had been convinced of "their truth". I believe I can use these narratives in my own writing experience by reading them and following their way of narrowing down the information in my own learning experience that I choose to write about later. They both started at the beginning and went through their stories highlighting the details that are the most crucial. Making the reader feel as though they went through it with them.
