1. My favorite front page was the Watertown Daily Times because I liked the way it was organized and could grab your attention. 2. My favorite headline from that newspaper was "Trump Seeks Compromise" because it was very eye catching and I liked the picture that went with it. 3. There are four major stories on the front page of my newspaper, and they are lengthy stories. 4. I noticed that all the newspapers have the major headline with a picture in common, a story to the column on the right side, and a story that is horizontal towards the bottom. The font sizes look similar on all of the newspapers. Also, there is one major picture with small pictures along the side. 5. Some things I noticed that were different were (obviously) the titles of the stories, and one big difference were how many stories the newspapers chose to fit on the front page.

Footprint Connected Eight The End

     A selfie is a picture taken by  oneself with a smartphone. It's easily disposable and easy to take another 'selfie' if you don't like the picture. A self-portrait is a picture taken with a camera of oneself that has more thought put into it. It usually tries to show an aspect of oneself. I believe the difference is that a selfie is usually taken on a smartphone and a self portrait is taken on a camera, and a selfie is easier to take/more disposable.        I prefer looking at a self portrait because I can better appreciate the art and thought put into it.
