     COMPARE TWO BIOGRAPHIES OF WAYNE GRETZKY

     In this essay, I need to compare two biographies of a famous
person. I will plot out the difference and compare the two books
considering point of view, bias, aim, omission, interest and
interpretation. This person is my hero and idol. He is one of the great
player in the history of hockey. He set the all-time NHL scoring record
in 26 seasons and got four Stanley cup in a row from 1984-1988. He is
Wayne Gretzky, the most brilliant and talent hockey player in this
century. Ichose the "Gretzky and Taylor" and "Gretzky with Rick Reilly.
     The book "Gretzky with Rick Reilly was an autobiography. It showed
how Wayne Gretzky from his AHL to a famous NHL player. In this book,
there were a lot of Gretzky's childhood. We knew that Wayne Gretzky could

books.
     Although this two books had the different point of view, they both

the only source  of success. In the book "Gretzky with Rick Reilly",

the entry Brantford Pee Wee franchise, so that they had the right to take
him when he turn the greater. But behind the success, did you know how
much Gretzky put on the hockey. In the winter, Gretzky would get in the
