Alvarez's excerpt, on the other hand, is more personal. She talks about her own experience ("during my early teen years") and how the dictatorship affected her knowledge and likely the lives of people around her (as she was kept in the dark about what was going on in the Dominican Republic).

Memmott presents facts about the dictatorship objectively, while Alvarez gives details about how it affected people.
