I chose the first article by N.R Kleinfeld because it is a more one person approach to the opinions of 9/11. It does not have an open argeument, but instead a point is stated. This reminds me of Thucydides, who was more of a one point of view writer. He did not chose to allow others opinions in. He chose to state his only instead. This article is very one opinionated and does not allow the reader to participate or does not seem friendly to the others opinion. This reminds me greatly of the one minded Thucydides.It also has an almost negative feel to the paper.

The second article I chose was by Liz Robbins, it is a more factual and less personal paper. It is also a paper that can easily be debated. It is not very opinionated but instead tells more of a story. It reminds me of Herodotus' writing because he was more of a story teller. He would even perform his "stories" or tales at events, such as the Olympic Games.
