How do Malcolm X's, Rose's, and the three bloggers' "essays" differ?
The story written by Mike Rose, "I just wanna be average" was more informative on the people that were involved in his school, he informed us that from the beginning he was placed in lower education classes due to a mix up in testings with another student with the last name Rose. As his story goes along he writes about the people he encounters along the way and how he becomes a mediocre student and tries less and isn't really interested, yet still gets an educational experience just not the one he was hoping for.
Malcolm X's story is educational as well in that he never really had an education, while in prison he tried to read a book yet didn't know half of what it was talking about because the vocabulary was so intense he couldn't understand with his low education status. He obtains an encyclopedia and gets to work writing down each word and passage in the dictionary until he finishes and has a great new vocab and understanding for each word, he pushed himself and really wanted to try and be successful in his learning.
The three blogs, "How I learned to program computers", "How I learned to travel solo", and "How I learned to live google-free" all give great detail and step by step information on what they did to be successful in what their endeavors were. The programmer started simply from starting a webpage blog and progressed along the way until he got to where he needed to be. The google free by Romero explained how he learned to live without google and worked his way around using the search engine that almost everyone in the world is using. The Traveler informs us on how traveling solo isn't just the trip it's a trip and gives great information on if you are by yourself what to do in the meantime and what time of the week to go as well as if traveling by yourself you have more things that you can do as opposed to if you were traveling with another person you wouldn't be able to fit in all the things you have been wanting to do.
I personally liked the how I learned to travel solo best, I really enjoy traveling and going places by myself so it interested me in her way of traveling by herself and what she does to keep herself busy during the meantime.

Good synopsis on all the presented material. You do a good job on summarizing, your thoughts are well formed. :-)
