Both of the stories were very similar in their style,
because they both are self-reflecting stories. In “A Tree Falls in The Forest”
the tone is very age appropriate of the character, and tells a story about
lessons learned in a philosophical context about life events. In “Disastrously
Unprepared” the author explains in depth about the important moments involved
with learning life lessons in adulthood. The lessons are always referred to in
hindsight in these stories, in order to make the reader feel good, and optimistic
about their life. The biggest difference I see in these two stories is that in
“A Tree Falls in The Forest” it is about relationships, and the effect self
image has on them—whereas in “Disastrously Unprepared” it is about accepting
who you are, and the life you live. In “Disastrously Unprepared” the story was
chopped up into segments of time, and
gave light on different stages of life, and in “A Tree Falls in The Forest” the
story was more straight forward momentum, and only jumped in time near the end
when the moral of the story was ready to come out. I liked the style of “A Tree
Falls in The Forest” best because it was easier to read and kept my attention
better—due to the relatable nature of the message “everyone else is just a person
like you are, the only differences are superficial.” This is more of an
important reminder to me on how to control my stress, than the other story had
about finding the beauty in my flaws.
