1. From what I have learned in this class I think that this story is a little bit of a opinion story because even though the writer doesn't uses words like "I" he still hints at what he is trying to get across. This wouldn't really be a news story because its not all facts and is meant to make the reader think a little differently after reading. The writer uses the past and the future a lot in this story whenever he is telling us that this is what we grew up to know and this is what we do when we grow into the future.
2. The argument David Brooks was making in this story was that people now are choosing who they are going to be by choosing something that they can live without and isn't necessary to them. He brings across how people are getting things that are newer and throwing away items that are no longer considered useful or beautiful. People are defining their identity on stuff that are newer even if that stuffiest needed in their life.
3. The support he gave in the story to prove his point to was when he explained how when we are young we choose our identity by getting item but later on in our life we change or discover our identity throwing away the items that are no longer needed in our life anymore. This prove his point to me because it showed how people now are basing who they are on time stat they receive and are always trying to get the newer items to make things simpler when there not needed. Throughout the story he gave examples the get the point across earlier.
4. i think that article was labeled to the right because maybe the story on the left side has a totally different view of something and this way it balances the page out with two different thoughts. I also thing that maybe it is separation two totally different topic and different news paper writers. The title of the page being Balanced Views gave me the idea of two different opinions that balanced each other  out on the page.
5. The writer did convince me on his point because I think that people base their identity at a young age of something that they have. I think that people should realize at a young age that the only thing that should determine your identify is not any type of item but who you act and your personality should determine the person someone is. I also think that people in this generation base their worth and value on a object that ill probably have no part in their future path.
