Open and Metamorphosis Writing Styles

In Open Agassi's uses a type of language that is free flowing and interacts with the reader. Agassi develops the story obviously in a first person point of view but his description although detailed is simple. He does not over develop his thoughts and put the pen to paper with only what he would actually say, not making the language much more exceeded then his intellect, which on the other hand I feel allows him to relate to the reader with ease as even though he is a professional tennis player who get payed millions he can relate to any average joe who has back problems or doesn't see he his family often enough. Agassi writes, "The finish line at the end of a career is no different from the finish line at the end of a match." Agassi writes about his struggle to finish his career. Yet he not only uses the metaphor for himself but for all other who struggle as well to get to the finish line. Agassi's writing allows people of all ages to understand and read. On the other hand Metamorphosis also uses small easy wording that lets the reader live in Gregors life. Throughout both novels the writing flow I believe carries the book to its understandable level. Now Metamorphosis is a lot more complex and the ideas behind are a lot more realistic because not all people can live the life of a famous superstar. Gregors life although sad is more real which ironically separate the real nonfiction book from this fiction book.
