In the classes latest assignment to write a comparison essay we were given the opportunity to read two articles from The New York Times that compared two different issues, on of which involved two brothers involved in the Blackwater scandal and the other of which dealt with two motor vehices. While the two articles essays show clear separation in genre they display a similar ability of comparison.
The article in regard to the Krongard brothers controversy brushes on slight comparisons of the two men and how they differ from one another, even pointing out their lack of contact with each other. Where are the car article makes two clear distinctions on the Ford Sport Trac and the Chevy Avalanche. In the car article there is an abundant amount of information given to help the reader pick out the best car for them, in the other article there is no winner.
The ending result of both articles can be summed up with the ending statement from the car article, "Are either of them a good value? No, not really." Where it concludes that neither vehicle is the best buy, and in the Blackwater case the article ends with stressing a lack of value and rust in Buzz Krongards testimony. Both cases display a frustration with their represented, "Product."
The clear similarity between the two NYT pieces is their formal writing style and their conclusions, where in that they are conclusions that lead you down a dead end. One article has not yet been able to have an ending written, and the other simply states you're better off with neither.

Jam This

Cell phones, perhaps one of the most profitable and innovative inventions of the last century have turned into an epidemic as useful as a vacine and as deadly as the plague. A double edged sword. For as useful as they may be they are hardly ever used for their real purpose, the abiity to get a hold of somebody from any location when their is no ther form of communication. Infact they are msore used to just get a hold of people with no merrit, n purpose other than the fact that the ability is there and mans unwillingness to look alone. By talking on the phone it looks lke you are not alone. So the masses chat and text, text and chat. And the bystanderds, those who are near a person on one of these free wheeling calls, have to take it all in, have to hear every drawn out detail of that persons conversation. Well not any more. Thanks t the invention of a cell phone jammer a person has the ability to jam the frequency service waves and force the persos phone to lose service...thus forcing them to shutup. Haleluiah! rIGHT? Not really, cell phone jammers are illegal , and perhaps righfully so.
Who gives you the riht to jsut block off somebodies conversation? Who knows what that conversations level of importance is? grant it if I had one of these jammers I would jam every person on a phone. I frequent NYC and one of the worst parts about the city is on the train rde there almost always I'm near some pin head who is yapping on their phone. It's horrible. And god knows the other person is always inconciderate, but you never are. And God knows that 9 out of the 10 users have zero importance with in their calls, their purose is to void their boredom. An architect named Andrew described to the NY Times how on his train ride he used a jammer to stop a passengers conversation, and all you can help but think of is the peace of mind.
Few will argue that it would be bliss to silence rambling self-concious iddiots and their phones in innapropriate places. Because let's face it, unless you are a doctor on call odds are you proboably don't need to answer that call, because odss are its just he baby sitter asking where the ketchup is.
