This article started with explaining how people with families in the military having not to deal with money issues. The only problem is with all these people needing to get paid is all the budget cuts. Is it worth it to pay for these families and do they have enough money to support families?
The article then goes on to explain their own personal views on the topic. They gave exact examples of families that are going to have a hard time without funding. "Jenelle's husband returned they would realize their dream of adopting a baby. But they soon found out that the mission was scrapped because of the threat of automatic cuts. Not knowing what the future holds, they're hesitant to begin the adoption process." The author is trying to make us feel like cutting these funds could damage hopes and anything that is possible in their lives.
I think the author potrayed their opinion through real life experiences with the people who depend on these funds. I don't think people should completely cut the funding for the military but maybe they don't need to be funded for life. At some point they can't rely completely on the money. Yes they have plans with that money but we have a lot of things needed with that money. It's not just about the families personally its about all of the people who need that money. Maybe for a while they should be supported but not forever.

Sarah's Key
*SPOILER ALERT*
Sarah's Key was a book switching between two time periods that could some how be connected. One was from many years earlier when a little girl and her family was taken away and in hopes to save her brother she locked him in a cupboard. Her father was hiding to so she would leave him the key until he revealed himself. The story continues many years later when a woman living in paris about to move into the house where the little girl, Sarah, lived. The woman is a reporter writing about the round up it follows Julia's story in trying to find out exactly what happened to Sarah.
Sarah's story made me sad during her story and when Julia found out everything that happened. I liked the two story lines and how they connected with each other. I thought that even though the story was supposed to be about the connection between Sarah and Julia but the addition of Julia's other life felt slightly unnecessary. It was interesting until it was not about Sarah anymore it was about Julia's life. I enjoyed the emotions and how intriguing the story was when they followed Sarah. All of a sudden she was cut off from the story and was just potrayed by Julia's investigation and the emotions were just shown through Julia. THe story was not as strong when it was telling me how to feel instead of letting me feel for myself. It was very interesting to read about something i had never read before but once it became just learning about a journalists journey into finding out about it it got less interesting.
In this story it discusses why this event was hidden. I had never heard of this and in the story neither had anyone else. They didn't care about it and because of us not learning about this or even knowing it existed it seems like we don't either. This story showed very realistic reactions to this event I do wish people cared more and it was a good idea to write this story if it had been written a little better.
