The story "One for the Murphy's" by Lynda Mullaly Hunt and the article "We Are Abandoning Children in Foster Care?" are alike and different. They are both alike because they share the same point of view while speaking about how foster care effects some children's lives. They are different because the story "One for the Murphy's" focuses on one child's life in first person perspective and how this child navigates her way through having a completely different foster home than what she's used to.

Even with all the technologies that America attains, they can still be compared to Rome. Cullen Murphy’s question is fair more so on the fact that previous American leaders used “republican political models” and the examples he used for America becoming a “principate”. There has been controversies over “personal freedom” and the government keeping secrets. I like how he brought up how Rome was “overwhelmed by the consequences of its own growing size and might”. America grown tremendously, not to mention their power.
