So far I've been assigned to read five difference educational narratives, and they've all had various similarities, and all have had their differences. Some of the most obvious ways they differ are in the author's tone and writing style, and in the subject they're writing about. While they're all about learning experiences, each was different, and they varied in magnitude; from something as essential as learning to read, to something as inconsequential as learning to live without Google products. The seriousness of the subject also impacts the tone of the writing, which is another way the narratives differ: the tone of "Learning to Read" is always very strong, and solemn; "How I Learned to Program Computers", on the other hand, is written as more of a guide directed at anyone who might find themselves reading, and as such the tone is more agreeable and inviting. The writing styles and formats all differ as well, but that results more from the author and the method of publication rather than the content of the writing.
