Maybe I'll admit it, I'm a little better

Compare and contrast the following 2 extracts, taken from 2 distinct blogs. Paying special attention to the language and traits of the two characters/writers, write a critical appreciation. (25m)

Extract 1

Stuff I want you guys to know about me. It's about time I let people know what I did/do.

• My PSLE aggregate is 239 and I scored an A* in English.
• My 'O' Levels score is 13 with distinctions in English and Math.
• I have a Diploma in Mass Communications.
• I'm a hardcore literature student. I took pure English Literature in high school and I can understand Shakespeare pretty well.
• I love to read. And I'm not talking about Shopaholic (although I heard it's a good book). To name a few, my favourite novels are by Elizabeth Wurtzel, Chuck Palahniuk and Jostein Gaarder.
• I read weeklys like Newsweek, Time and The Economist.
• I enjoy watching documentaries on Discovery Channel and National Geographic paying particular interest in archeology and science.
• I have fully functioning brain. So don't call me stupid

NB: The above writer is a graduate of Ang Mo Kio Secondary School, has 6 'O' level subjects to her name, and is currently a student at a private institution, MDIS.

Extract 2

I don't actually need you guys to know this, since these are all pretty mundane and banal tasks any junior college student can complete effortlessly. No fuss. No frills.

• My PSLE aggregate is 262, with 2A*s and 2As, plus a distinction in Higher Chinese
• I got admitted to a premier girls school, CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School, where I graduated with 10 'O' Level distinctions, with a score of 5 points.
• I continued on my quest, gaining admission to Raffles Junior College, the top JC in Singapore, dubbed as the 'gateway to the Ivy League'
• I'm a hardcore Literature student too. I took Literature for 4 years in secondary school, and because my passion for it was too ardent, I continued with my Literature studies into JC2. I can understand Shakespeare well, as well as other Elizabethan and Jacobean writers. Still a big headache though.
  
• I don't read. Because of the lack of time juggling my academics, and other school-based and private committments, I only read the Straits Times daily, TIME once a week and my Economics notes.
  
• My favourite novels are The Country Wife by William Wycherley, Measure for Measure by Shakespeare, poems by Robert Frost, The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster, Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, and The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston.
• I have no time for documentaries. Because the school already offers us the opportunity to delve into the depths of higher knowledge.
• sometimes my brain doesn't function well as I would like it to. Well, I'm a JC student. How can you expect me to care about such trivial matters? My brain is reserved for pure knowledge to attain beneficial wordly truths of economics, math, geography and literature.

NB: The writer is none other than the writer of this blog. All facts stated are true to the best of my knowledge.
