New York Times: Tuesday, November 1, 2011

I thought it was hilarious that the Times decided to put in another article about the storm and Halloween.  I'm guessing that they did this because they were able to get more information about Halloween cancellation yesterday, but I can't help but think that they put this story in to replace the one from yesterday's paper.  Today's story had very similar information as the other one, but this one was much more entertaining to read.  You could actually get a feel what the writer was trying to say, and there were smooth transitions into quotes.  I feel bad for the kids who couldn't go trick or treating though.  I know that if I was a kid, I would have been really bummed out.

It's terrible to hear about the trial going on in Haiti right now.  That country as suffered so much, and now they have to worry about the outcome of a trial that could have been completely avoided.  I usually get really confused reading stories about foreign affairs, but this story was written very clearly, and the quotes that were used summed up the whole article very well.

The story about homeless people living where protestors do their business was a very surprising story to read.  I never would have guessed that the homeless would find a home there, but once I thought about it it makes sense.  There are always a lot of people at protests, and often times the protests are about money, something that the homeless don't have.  If you could live in an area where it's safe and there are people with similar views, why would you not live there?
