english 101 how I will use these

After reading both online articles, I find things from both that will help me in my first paper. One narrative describes a lifelong process of learning, while the other describes a shorter, more isolated experience in one’s life.

The first narrative, by Feross, gave enough background information on his interest in computer programming. He clearly explained both the reasoning for his interest in it, and how he worked his way up from the bottom starting at a young age. I know nothing about the subject but felt like I understood his learning process and was able to see how he came so far. He repeated what he felt was the most significant information, “practice makes perfect”.

The second narrative about living Google free seemed impossible at first, when we are so very absorbed in Google as a search engine alone. He provided us with a short history of Google and how Google has advanced over the years.  Step by step he explains how he retrieved his data and was able to slowly remove Google from his life.

 Both narratives provided great detail to help the reader to understand exactly what they did.  In a sense, “convinced us of their truth” like we are to do in our own narrative, leaving the reader feeling like they were there. I left feeling like I knew what they went through. I will use these both in my own work by weeding out the details that stray the reader away from the experience I am trying to share with them. I will include details that are specific to my experience, describing what I learned and how I learned it.
