Mike Rose Vs. Malcolm X

Malcolm X and Mike Rose's essays are similar in a narrative fashion and telling a bit of history about themselves and what they learned through their hardships. Although they may be similar, there are obvious differences like their backgrounds and their writing styles. Everyone has their own unique way of telling a story and that goes without saying. Everyone is different. Malcolm X's narrative is less of a story and seemingly more of an explanation of a learning experience. What he had to go through to finally realize what is worth learning and how he taught himself was pretty interesting, but it is basically just the stages he went through before achieving his said goal and how he got to be where he was. Mike Rose's narrative is similar in a way because it's also a learning experience, but he tells it like it were a story of his life. He doesn't get straight to the point but he in fact tells every little detail that contributed to the way he is now. I see Mike as a story teller similar to how my grandpa would share one while Malcolm X as more of a teacher telling students what he went through to achieve a goal.
