The teenagers have laptop computers. Many families also rent movies by mail through Netflix."this proves that the kids visited the diffrent place so they could figured out what is simmilar to there town and the other town.
 
The difference between the small village and the big city is big.According to the text,the difference is "Hadley, pointing to a pound of butter marked $2.99. In her small village, it costs $4.79. It is the only brand of butter available."this is one reason that they are different.  This proves that there are differences that they dicsovered and some other ones are that the city has over 282,813 people living there and it is big and busy there and the thing in the village is that  the amount of people living there is 418 also there is no indoor pluming so they use buckets for the bathroom but there is indoor pluming in the school. To sum it up, there are differences and simmilarities beacuse a city is different to a village

Also they bot have schools to go to daily.
 
The different things that they would have woud be Anchorage would be all busy and noisy but Buckland would be qiuet because its not as big or does not have as much people.

One of them is that Anchorage kids have an easier life that Buckland kids. The text states "Four students looked over the rows of butter in the refrigerator cases of a supermarket in Anchorage, Alaska. There were more choices than these students had ever seen."This is the kind we have at home," said Karstin Hadley, pointing to a pound of butter marked $2.99. In her small village, the only brand of butter available costs $4.79 a pound." These quotes prove that kids who live in Anchorage can buy things with many choices to choose from for a not-so-expensive-price, while kids in Anchorage must live a harder life cecause they have no choice and must pay for a higher price. To sum it all up, Anchorage kids have an easier life than Buckland kids.

Though the two places her differences, they have some similarities as well. One of them is that their everyday-life actions are similar. The text states "Most people have dogs, and the teenagers have laptop computers. Many families also rent movies by mail through Netflix.". This quote proves that both town's everyday doings are similar. To sum it all up, the two places, Anchorage and Buckland have not just differences (Though there are a lot of them), but similarities as well. ]]> 2017-04-04 01:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/164505102 Dearek https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/164682958 Anchorage is a big village although buckland is not. kids in buckland only have one school. in Anchorage the kids have many schools. The two villages both have internet. They both also have dogs. as you can see the villags have similarities and differences.]]> 2017-04-04 17:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/164682958 Emily https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/164746379  The kids of Buckland have only one school, so they are used to all of the grades in one school. They don't have a lot of people so they don't expect to have a lot of people to meet and become friends. On the other hand, the people of Anchorage have multiple schools, so they are not used to such a small amount of people. They always go to movies and have McDonalds a lot of the time, and the city has a lot of shops and thrift stores to buy cool oufits and furniture. They both have the Internet, and both are good working.

The kids from Buckland live in a small village, don't have indoor plumbing in there house's, they only have one school,and the food is more expensive. In the article it states " A little more than 400 people live in Buckland. There is also a 10 p.m. Curfew for youth and no indoor plumbing except at the school. Homes usually have five-gallon plastic pails for toilets. There is only one school in Buckland, and students in all grades learn there. A large bag of potato chips costs $7.15. A dozen eggs cost $4.99." This shows Buckland is isolated and has little resource's. The kids who live in the big city of Anchorage have a bigger population,the food is cheaper. In the text it says "In Anchorage, population 282,813, "This is the kind we have at home," said Karstin Hadley, pointing to a pound of butter marked $2.99. In her small village, the only brand of butter available costs $4.79 a pound." This quote shows that the big city is not isolated because everything is cheaper, this also shows more people live in Anchorage. There are many difference's in each type of life even though there are not many things they have in similar they both have homes.]]> 2017-04-04 22:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/164751912 Alexa https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/164752397 In the text, "Same Kids, Different Lives" children from Anchorage, Alaska and kids from Buckland, Alaska learn that they have both similar and different lives when they visit each other's communities.  During a visit to Buckland, children from Anchorage learn that they have several similarities with the kids in Buckland.  According to the text, "Most people have dogs. The teenagers have laptop computers. Many families also rent movies by mail through Netflix."   This shows that kids and their families live the same way in different places.  

In contrast, there are also many differences between life in Buckland and life in Anchorage.  Buckland is a small, remote village and Anchorage is a larger urban area.  The families in Buckland carry on many of the Native American traditions and activities of their ancestors; while families in Anchorage live a more modern lifestyle, going to movie theaters, huge malls, and grocery stores.  Also, things are more expensive in Buckland.  It "... is so remote that it is difficult to transport goods there. This causes the prices to go up." As you can see, the families from Anchorage, Alaska and Buckland, Alaska have many similarities and differences in their lifestyles.  ]]> 2017-04-04 22:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/164752397 AMANDA https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/164980331 2017-04-05 18:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/164980331 Shaili Shah https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/165016102 A life for a kid who lives in village of Buckland and the life for a kid in the city of Anchorage could be similar and different for many different reasons. For instance, one similarity between the city and the village is that the teenagers have laptop computers. Also, in both areas most people have pets. They also have many differences like that Mirror lake students have a big noisy city and Buckland is a small village. Other difference between the two areas is that the big noisy city has plumbing in their schools as well as their homes. On the contrary, the small village only have plumbing in their schools not their houses. Another big difference is that the population of Anchorage, is 282,813, while the students from Buckland, population is 418. Also, the prices decrease when you’re in Mirror Lake, I know this because the article stated "pointing to a pound of butter marked $2.99. In her small village, it costs $4.79. It is the only brand of butter available." This quote depicts that there are less choices of food in a small village than a big city and it also increases the prices in a little village due to the transportation. As you can see, there are some things alike and some differences between the lives for kids who live in Anchorage and Buckland.]]> 2017-04-05 22:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/165016102 Charlene Pace https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/165031640 The lives of Anchorage vs the lives in Buckland are very different. An example from the article “Same Kids, Different Lives” that shows how the Buckland kids don't have the easiest lives is "Ballot and his classmates also visited Mirror Lake Middle School. The school has 680 students. That's more people than the entire village of Buckland." and another example from " Dig Deeper" ( the second part ) is "There is only one school in Buckland, and students in all grades learn there." These two quotes show that Buckland is a very small town and they don't get a lot. An example from the article "Same Kids, Different Lives" that shows how life in Anchorage is not hard is "They ate Big Macs, went to an indoor water park, and shopped in vast malls." This shows that life in Anchorage is about the same as life here. To sum things up, the two places are very different. 

The lives of Anchorage vs. the live of Buckland have similarities, too. An example from the article "Same Kids, Different Lives" that shows how they are similar is "the Mirror Lake students could see ways that their Buckland peers were very much like them. Most people have dogs, and the teenagers have laptop computers. Many families also have Netflix, the mail-order movie-rental service." This shows that the people who live in Anchorage and the people who live in Buckland have similarities. To sum things up, the two places have similarities, as well as differences.]]> 2017-04-06 02:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/165031640 Tia https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/165262877 Kids in Anchorage and Buckland both different amd the same. In the article Same Kids,Different Lives it says how they kids are different and the same. In Same Kids,Different Lives it says "The kids enjoyed getting to know one another. They saw that they were alike in many ways. How? Most have dogs. Many have laptop computers. They like to rent movies. The kids were glad to be part of the program." This shows how the kids are the same.   In  Same Kids,Different Lives it also says how they are different. The article says"There are not many different jobs in Buckland. Some people are teachers, while others work as doctors or nurses. Still others work in stores. Some adults hunt and fish, and kids do, too. There is only one school in Buckland. Students in all grades learn there. Many people have the Internet." This shows how they are different. To sum things up in the article Same Kids,Different Lives it says how the kids are different and the same.]]> 2017-04-06 20:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/165262877 James P. https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/43fyyrimyiq2/wish/165277599 A Buckland kid would be poor. A quote from the article says: " Buckland is a village of 418 people." This quote proves that they have not that many homes in the town and not many people live there and they can not afford a lot of things. 
 
An Anchorage kid would be pretty normal. A quote from the article says: " Anchorage has over 280,000 people. Buckland students visited a musk-ox farm. They went to the state crime lab. They ate Big Macs and went to huge malls. The students had fun. Some kids, however, said the city was much bigger and busier than what they were used to. This quote proves that the kids in Anchorage would forget that they were so well-gifted! That is because in the quote, it said: Some kids, however, said the city was much bigger and busier than what they were used to. Which proves that they are kind of spoiled.

This proves they are the same because the text says it is mostly cold in Alaska. To sum it up the two places have similarities.


Life for a kid in buckland is different than life for a kid in anchorage because in the text ''Same Kids,Different Lives '' it says anchorage is a big city but on the other hand buckland is a small village with a little more than 400 people.'' This proves they are different because one is a big city and the other one is a little village. To sum it up the two places have differences.
