Both of the articles talk about Chris Gardner and his life. How he went from being a very poor man to being a millionaire. The first article talked more about what he went through and how he made it. The second article talks more about what he continues to do today. What I like most about the two articles is that Mr.Gardner never gave up no matter what obstacle came his way he Still achieved his goal. His story pushes me to do my very best and NEVER give up.

Both articles talk about Chris Gardner & how he went from poor to rich. However, both articles aren't as detailed and don't both have headers. I like how Me. Gardner was able to work his way to the top and never gave up and was there for his child. I don't have any dislikes. 8/23/2017 03:53:12 pm

These two stories about Chris Gardner are the same because it states in both articles that he was poor and was struggling. Also in the article another similarity is that he came from the bottom and made his way to the top. The differences I see in this article is that in the first one it talks more about how he made it. The other article talks more about what he does in everyday life now. The things I like about this article is that it shows people that no matter how hard the situation is you can still make something out of yourself. There's nothing to really dislike about this article. Whats inspiring about it is that people could learn from him and do what he did and make no mistakes.

I believe that both articles was the same by going through a struggle. They both didn't have much. Being homeless wasn't, easy for them at all. Also, they both talked about how a child had came from nothing & became something. A difference I seen, is how in one article they talked more about how he made it in life. In the other article they didn't really talk about his situation but they talked about his daily life now. He was also able to have faith in hisself & become something.

In These 2 Articles they both was the same because they both talk about how Chris Gardener went for poor to rich . Therefore in the article 1 it's basically talk about how he really came from being poor and struggling and to nice young man who became rich. In the second story it's talk about how he was homeless and poor and how he had one child that he had to raise as a poor father but also his child know what it look like when yu in a struggle

Both of these articles talks about Mrs.Gardner poor life. Mrs.Gardner was an poor man that became a millionaire. He raised his son as an homeless guy and the articles tells how he became successful today. The difference in both articles was that one article tell exactly what happened when he was poor until he became rich and the other article mostly speaks on his everyday life, after he became the millionaire. What I like about these articles is that Mrs.Gardner never quit. He strived to become what he is today.

He raised his son by himself and he struggled to find jobs.The stories were different because one was more detailed than the other one . I actually like the story and also the movie it taught me that you can do anything you put your mind .

Both articles talked about how Chris Gardner struggled and overcame his obstacles. The first article talked about how he was homeless and him and his son struggled to live somewhere stable.The second article was more about his successful progression and his daily life. What I liked about the two articles were that it encourages people know that no matter what your situation is you could still be successful as long as you are driven and put in the effort.

I feel like both articles explained the same thing. They both explain about a man and his son and how they were homeless. Basically, Mr. Gardner did everything to make it to the top to provide for himself. and his son.These two articles were different because they both had their different ways of explaining the story and also one was more detailed than the other one.. I liked how the articles at least stayed on one topic because on some news articles they bring another subject into another. I didn't dislike anything. What inspired me was when Mr. Gardner said his mum inspired him.

Both articles talk about how Cris Gardener went from rags to riches with just only the thought in mind of his mother one day telling him that he callus one day make 1 million dollars. The first article was more detailed and gave more facts about the struggle he went through.

Both articles describe who he is and explains all of his success. In the first story it talks more about how he struggled and where he started before the fame. The second article talks a little bit more about what he does and why. I find it all inspiring that no matter where you come from , you can turn it all around and become something better.

Both articles talked about this man(who name I cant spell correctly) that was homeless and had a child. however one of the articles talked more about his every day life while the other article talked about how he became a millionaire. I liked how he never gave up even though he was homeless and he had a son who he couldn't really take care of that well. I hated that his ex wife left him with the kid not helping him with the child or anything like what mother doesn't take care of their own kid.

The articles were alike because they both were about going through a struggle . One wasn't as detailed as the other but what I like about the article was that Mr. Gardener never gave up on what he believe and stood for as a man, and with his beliefs and hard work he was able to work his way to the top to where he wanted to be.

Both articles speak about a man named Chris Gardner who went from being homeless and his son to a multi-millionaire. In the first article they spoke more about his mindset and how he faced his obstacles(sub tittle amazing talents p7). in the second article they talked more about his personal and perspective(p3).The two articles inspired me to never give up on a dream because anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Both articles are nearly the same talking about overcoming a struggle. They both tell about his up rise. Both passages are described differently. In the BBC passage describes Chris and his son sleeping in a subway by a toilet. In the SUCCESS passage it' s described with more information such as his wife, son, and him took shelter in Oakland railway station in a locked bathroom.

Both of the articles was talking about Chris Gardner and the way he went from being poor to being rich. He didn't ever give up and was always there for his son. These articles are related in many ways and shows examples on how you can actually be great and successful in life when it started rough. The first article kind of stays on the topic of who he really is today, and the second one is about the life he lives.

Both articles basically talked about Chris Gardener and the way he over came some of the struggles life faced him. In the first article he talked about how he was a poor man. In the second article he was explaining how he over came those obstacles he was faced with. Also how he can relate to those people that are in the situation he was in.

The 2 articles were both exciting to read. The facts from article one stated that he didn’t raise enough money to rent an apartment, and that he also slept under his desk at work after everyone else left. The facts from article two stated that he lacked a college degree and that he knocked on doors for several months and finally landed a spot in the Dean Witter Reynolds training program. A fact that both articles had was that he was homeless in San Francisco and he would a low paying job. What I liked about the two articles is that they gave key details about his life before he receive wealth and after. I was inspired by how he went from sleeping in a public restroom into having his own business and house.

Mr.Gardner was a very hardworking man that grew up without a father and an abusive stepfather that was with his mother.
