Compare and Contrast

The last book I read was called If These Walls Could Talk written by Jon Faulk. These two books were written on a life story through the main characters eyes. Jon Faulk tells the stories of Michigan Football's history. He was an equipment manager for more than 40 years, he is the only person to be there through the legend coaches of  Bo Schembechler and Brady Hoke. He tells his favorite stories first hand.  He walks you through the history Michigan football beyond the game itself. Go Ask Alice is written first hand of her experiences with drugs. They are different in the style of which it is written. If These Walls Could Talk was written as a biography and him looking back on his life and his experiences with Michigan Football. In Go Ask Alice, it is written as diary entries which is fresh first hand experiences, instead of remembrance of the events. She sat down and wrote about the events as they happened, as Jon had to look back on his life and write as he remembered it to be.
