John says that the life of a writer is easy because Mark Twain used to write in bed. But you might go to sleep, like his father did, so then you won’t write anything. A writer needs to have someone to look after him, like his wife. Then he can tell his story. This is a diary.
In contrast Stephen King is not writing a diary. He is writing advice. He thinks you need a good desk to be a writer. You should put it in the corner of the room. You also need a big room, which is spacious.
Feedback - Basic
This answer is limited because:
it’s very short and has no quotation from the text to support it
it talks all about one text and then the other
it summarises bits of the texts, but doesn’t analyse
it refers to Steinbeck by his first name
However, it does:
uses the phrase ‘in contrast’ to show a difference between the text
picks out some examples from the text
begins to think about text type for comparing the two texts
