"Human Snowball" and "Marion"

One of these texts is an essay and one is a short story. What makes them different genres? If you didn't have the table of contents to consult, would you be able to tell which one is which? How so?

  1. As I was reading Human Snowball I was able to tell it was an essay. It sounded like it just from the way it began. It sounded like a love story in a movie form. As I read I got this perfect picture idea of what the scenes looked like, how the people looked. I pictured the situations of Chris going to pick up all these people they met. This story was told in a different tone compared to Marion. Marion I figured was the fiction story. The way the author writes this story was different from Human Snowball and there was a different tone with Marion. Marion also had a clear picture as well. As I would read I can picture the ranch and in a different time frame. Both were very interesting stories.
