Trend Feature Comparison

The first story focuses on family members texting each other from inside the same house while the second one focuses on the high concentration of homeless people in Orange County's public libraries.

The texting story appealed to me more because the quotes convey a wide range of entertaining emotions, while the homelessness story is more grim.

Favorite quote from story No. 1: “I love it,” said the mother, who asked to remain anonymous — so as not to get an angry text from her child. “I can text her back, and we don’t have a grudge match.”

Favorite quote from story No. 2: She said she instructed her child “never to touch the toilet. No fingers. We flush with our feet.”
