Review the lines 1-15 in It worked for me and lines 148-158 in colin powell : millitary leader. How does the portrayal of powell's after-school job differ in each text? Explain why each author treated this event differently

Both of these texts describe the events that took place in the early life of Colin Powell, an American politician and retired general of the United States Army.

The texts describe the early job that Powell took when he was a teenager. This job was done after school, and consisted in working at a store owned by eastern European Jewish shopkeepers. However, each text treats this story differently.

In the case of the memoir, the story mainly focuses on the relationship between the Jewish immigrant and Powell, and how this led to experiences such as developing a friendship and learning some Yiddish. In the case of the biography, the focus is mainly on the ways in which the after-school job affected Powell's life as a teenager. The most likely reason for this is the fact that each author wanted to highlight a particular section of Powell's life in order to better support the theme of each text.
