An Inauguration Like No Other



On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States. Many memebers of the media and close to 400,000 poeple attended his inauguration. Time For Kids send two of their student reports to attend the inaugeration and to write about it. Sydney Turner wrote this article and Harrison Gilman wrote this article. Read both articles. Compare and contrast the two articles on the class blog. In addition, respond to their articles by stating your own opinions.

The two articles are different because the first article was about how someone thought how great President Obama's speach was. The second article was about a person telling the reader how many people were there.

The two articles are the same because they both talked about what the studets did.

The two articles are different because one talked about meeting someone that looked like Lincin and the other talked how the people were acting .I think these were good articles.

1.They are alike because they both saw people cry and cheer ,and there also alike because they went there to see him take the oath and his speech.
2.There diffrent because there was the girl that went to the Illinos ball,and there diffrent because the boy wrote the article about President Obama`s speech that he gave and the girl didn`t write the article about the speech.They both are great ,and I also wanted to be there to see history.

1.Sydney Turner's and Harrison Gilman's articles were the same because they were both talking about how good Barack's inauguration was and how inspired they were.
2.Sydney's article was differant than Harrisons article because she also was talking about the ball.
3.I thought that Barack Obama's speech was very well said and I wanted to get dressed up and be at the ball.

The two articals are different because the first artical discuses about how someone thought how great president Obama`s speach was. The second artical discuses about how many people were there.

They are the same because it says how both articals are the same.

The articles were alike because they both were about Barack Obama getting sworn into office and about how many people were there to see his speech.
The articles were different because one was told by a child's point of view one by an adult's point of view. The articles were also different because one was mostly about how much people were there and the other was about the inaugaration and the inaugaration balls.
