    tell the two apart? Notwithstanding the fact that the outside appearance may be consubstantial, their personalities will most likely be contradistinctive. That's kind of how the memoirs “Barrio Boy”, by Ernesto Galarza, and “No Gumption”, by Russell Baker, are. Even though there are many unambiguous similarities such as their characters, P.O.V, story structure, values, and theme, they have univocal differences such as the character's' actual personality.
