“How I learned to Program Computers” and “How I learned to Live Google Free”

After reading “How I learned to Program Computers” and “How I learned to Live Google Free” I had a better sense of how my narrative paper should be modeled. I noticed and really appreciated that both were composed of many short paragraphs, rather than just a few long ones. I thought this was a good format because it was easier to remember the content of each paragraph, therefore making it easier to remember the whole narrative. Since I realize that the content of a paper with long paragraphs can get lost, I will format my paper with shorter paragraphs.

            Also, interesting to me was that in both narratives the use of quotes was limited. There were a few used within each one, but for some reason I just expected there to be more since they were narratives. However, noticing this made me understand you don’t need too many quotes to write a good narrative, so I will keep that in mind when writing my first paper.
