I have never read a "travel diary" before so the Motorcycle Diaries will be a totally new spectrum of literature for me. I expect many diverse things from this type of book. For an example, I would expect a lot of description and imagery because he will be taking us through Latin America. He will need to allow the reader to picture his journey in their heads so they can get a feel for the story's voice.
This story will greatly differ from the previous 2 books we have studied because this book is based solely on his individual experiences and endeavors. This novel will be more personal than others because it is based on his thoughts as well. Also, because it will be viewed as a first-person perspective which is totally different than the books we've read so far.
What is different from The Motorcycle Diaries preface than the others is that they are written from a different perspective than the writer himself. For an example, in the Invisible Man, the preface was written by the author of the novel whereas in Motorcycle Diaries the preface is written by his daughter and wife. Therefore it is a totally different standpoint on the novel.
