Comparing 'Breathing Room And Tuberculosis'
Both resources share the elements of conflict, author’s purpose, and setting. Even though they both share some of the same elements, they are presented in completely different ways. The “Breathing Room” is presented as a story and gives more emotion, but “Tuberculosis” focuses more on giving facts and information. All in all, many fiction and nonfiction books may be on the same topic, but more times than not the author will take a different approach on how to present the information.

Even under the best conditions, at least half of all the patients who entered the facilities died within a period of 6 years. Due to the ineffectiveness of these establishments, physicians and scientists started researching…
