Malik tells his audience more of his story while the scholars who published the study provide an academic report on their research. In Malik's article, she describes her experience as an immigrant in a small town on the East Coast. This is a personal experience in a very unique region of Canada. Fitting in would be difficult for her in any small town, being on the coast, but that probably made it more difficult since they are known for being a fairly close-knit conservative society.
