Writing A Comparison


First story Laurie Lee’s sister helped him to prepare his first day of school, she wrapped Laurie in scarves, tied up his bootlaces, thrust a cap on his head, and stuffed a baked potato in Laurie’s pocket; I think that in Village school from Gloucestershire; the roll played by the community is not appropriate as the second story to study and “become into a man”, insomuch as students don’t go to village school to learn, but they go just because they have to wait for 14 years old to work on field or in the factory.

In the other hand we have the Combermere School, a serious one, where you can get a well education and hope for a better expectations of life, if you do it well; Austin was prompted by almost everybody in his village to study in that school, like Delcina and his mother, his mother insisted him to be a doctor, so there is a important roll that plays the family in the education of Austin, not as in the valley of England where nobody cares of the education of Laurie; Austin was prepared to the school by his mother, who give to him a lot of books, biscuits, a sandwich of fish and a bottle of clear lemonade.
I agree with the attitudes towards education from the second story because it was a more serious school in the academic scope and all the people aroundAustin want him to go to the school.
I enjoyed reading the first text, maybe because it show the perspective of life from a rural school, although was very interesting the second story too but also harder to understand
