Read the following excerpts from two memoirs. What two similarities do the narrators of the two excerpts have in common?
Excerpt 1
I always took my little slingshot when I went to the woods to hunt. My best friend, Arthur, often went with me. Arthur was four years older
than I was. It was Arthur who taught me how to fish and hunt. Hunting was always risky. The king had made it illegal for poor people like me
to hunt. But the rich lords and ladies were allowed to hunt as much as they pleased. They owned huge private woods and lakes where no
one else was allowed. They had scary gamekeepers to protect their property, I knew I could be caught and even killed, but my family had to
eat one way or another. So I always went, armed with nothing but a slingshot. Once or twice, I even hit the gamekeepers with pebbles as !
tried to escape
Excerpt 2
Being a pirate's slave wasn't easy. I had to clean the decks and do other dirty work. Many times, I thought about escaping. But everywhere!
looked, there was only the wide sea. One day, the ship docked at an island. I knew that old Black Beard was planning to sell me. I was afraid
my new master would be crueler than the pirate. When the ship docked, I ran toward the gangplank that led outside. Some of the other
pirates shouted at me, but I ignored them as I ran. I heard their footsteps behind me. They were chasing mel if I got caught I would get a
good beating. But I didn't care. I would rather die than spend another minute on that ship.
