Read the following excerpts from two memoirs. What similarity do the narrators of the excerpts share?

"From Lithuania to the Chicago Stockyards"
We were tired out when we reached the stockyards, so we stopped on the bridge and looked into the river out there. It was so full of grease and dirt and sticks and boxes that it looked like a big, wide, dirty street, except in some places, where it boiled up. It made me sick to look at it. When I looked away I could see on one side some big fields full of holes, and these were the city dumps. On the other side were the stockyards, with twenty tall chimneys. The wind blew a big smell from them to us. Then we walked on between the yards and the dumps and all the houses looked bad and poor. In our house my room was in the basement. I lay down on the floor with three other men and the air was rotten. I did not go to sleep for a long time. I knew then that money was everything I needed. My money was almost gone and I thought that I must get a job, for this was not like home. Here money was everything.

"American and I"
Day after day, week after week, all the contact I got with America was handling dead buttons. The money I earned was hardly enough to pay for bread and rent. I didn't have a room to myself. I didn't even have a bed. I slept on a mattress on the floor in room occupied by a dozen other immigrants. I was always hungry-oh, so hungry! The scant meals I could afford only sharpened my appetite for real food. But I felt myself better off than working in the "American" family. With all the hunger and darkness of the sweat-shop, I had at least the evening to myself. And all night was mine. When all were asleep, I used to creep up on the roof of the tenement and talk out my heart in silence to the stars in the sky.

Revise the following​ paragraph, improving it without changing its overall meaning.


I usually am flying economy class, but last year I flied first-class on a trip from Vermont to Texas. This is how it happened. When I arriving at the airport, the attendant told me the airline had overbooked, which meant they were selling too many tickets for that flight. I were not in a hurry, so I offered to go on the next flight. Then I found out there were an extra seat after all—it was first class! As I sat in my first-class seat, I notice the ride was much quieter and smoother than in other parts of the plane. When I buzzed the flight attendants, they are arriving right away. Also, there was enough fleece blankets for everyone, so I was able to cover myself when the cabin got too cool. Because the seats were so large, I had lots of room to stretch my legs. Best of all, the first-class meal was really good. All of these pleasant surprises made the flight seem shorter than any other flight I have took before.
