When both sources are compared, both writers absolutely have divergent views
and experience towards their visit to the prison.
Within Source A, the writer's views and experience towards the institution
is unquestionably tranquil with a sense of interest when he sees how discpliced the
prisoners were; 'the men wheeled round with almost miltary precision'. From
this we learn that, as if the writer is almost taken aback from the level
of execution with accuracy the inmates are conveying when spoken to, 'Cleaners,
face! -- Cooks, face! -- Bakers, face!'; which further empahises on the
obediency they have towards the people in hierarchy. Moreover, the fact
that the writer describes his visual perception as 'a strange sight', it was
as if he wasn't expecting this uncommon and anaomalous observation; he had a
mentality in mind of the prison before entering.
However, in Source B, the writer's views and experience towards the institution
is clearly foreboding with a sense of uneasiness, as soon as he sets foot; 'brought
back some mixed memories'. This distinctly implys that he has a miscellaneous
sentiment when his nostalgia kicks in after he sees the 'uniforms' and reminds
him of his lack of sovenrenigty. Futhermore, in the fourth paragraph we see that
he is realeasing his exasperatio and resentment he has towards the prison by
using sarcasm; 'Home, sweet home' as if its his native land.
Thanks.
