Answer:

The impact of this excerpt shows that the person was very scared, being that they have never held a real gun for that long before, and the situation they are in is very dangerous and terrifying.

They are both written in first person, they share conflicts. <span>First, in similarity, they lived in close time periods (both lived in 20th century) and were very poor. They went through a lot of struggle but in the end they achieved a lot. They both share similar conflicts. These are both memoir stories written in first person and talk about being young children.
