  1. I think that Warren Faidly's determination and Michelle Kwan's determination are alike because Faidly just wants to get out there and take photos of storms and Kwan just wants to be the best athlete she can be. Here's an example that supports my awnser. It says,"It was nice that Karen and I were skating at the same level, but If I didn't take the test now so I could get into the 19930 Senior Nationals, I'd never get into the 1994 Olympics." So, both have determinations that are alike.

  2. Michelle and Warren have the same determination like , Michelle really wants to become a Senior Scater . Warren really would like to get a great picture of thunderstorms. they are both determind to do somthing great.But they are differnt beacause warren is ready to start and he thinks about where he needs to be. Michelle just needs to practise hard."I know I was a much better scater than that."

  3. I think that Michelle Kwan and Warren Faidly are alike because they are both brave and are always ready for a big fist step,But i have to say they have some differences. Like Warren likes chasing storms for living and Michelle likes ice skating for a living."He asked me do you have any idea how much work you have ahead of you,I told him now I did ,and that i would do whatever i had to do.

  4. I think that Michelle Kwan's and Warren Faidly's determination are alike because they both set a high goal and never give up. I also think that they're different because when warren takes pictures, he is perfectly still. When Michelle skates, she has to always be moving. "Young lady, you have no idea what it means to be a Senior skater. You know next to nothing about the artistic side of skating. You neeed to understand how to hear the music. You are going to have to transform your skating "

  6. Michelle determination is that she wants to become a senior skater and thinks she is ready for it. But, her coach said," No! " When Michelle coach left town for a couple of days, Michelle went to California to get the next rank test. She past the test no problem. But when her coach came back he was mad! Michelle now was all the world over and now is a senior skater. " When I started as a senior, my programs were bumpy."

  7. I think that michelle kwan and warren faidley are alike because they both are on a mission to do something.michelle is on a mission to become a senior skater and warren is on a mission to get a good picture of a thunder storm.They are different because she is trying to set a goal on a sport and he is trying to set a goal on something for photography."I thought i was ready to becomea senior skater,at the agr of twelve."

  8. I think Warren Faidley and Michelle Kwan's determination are alike because Warren went through an underpass full of angry black widow spiders to get a great picture. Michelle went against what her coach, Frank said to be a Senior skater. I also think they are different because Warren is risking his life to get great photos, but Michelle just wants to be a Senior skater. Also Warren is getting photos for other people and Michelle is doing it for herself.Here is a quote from the story to support my anwser,"You are going to have to transform your skating."

  9. I think Warren Faidly and Michelle Kwan's determinatoin are alike because Warren wants to take his chances and become the greatest photographer in the world and Michelle wants to compete with the world's most amazing skaters. I can tell when she says,"I had this burning disire to compete in the big time. To be out there with Lu Chen and Surya Bonaly and Nancy Kerrigan." I also realize how they are different. Warren is risking his life and Michelle just wants to be a better skater.

  12. Michelle and Warren have the same determination.Michelle know that she isnt doing the best she can because she is not being challenged.Michelle really wants to be a senior scater like Warrren would want to take a relly good picture of tornadoes and thunderstorms.
    There determinations are different because Michelle and Warren have to work at different things to make them great."So youcan see,there's hardly any time between the competitions to take a breath!"

  13. Michelle and Warren have the same kind of deterination. they are the same because Michelle wants to be a senior skater and Warren wants to take the best pictures in the world.But like ebveryone else they need to keep practicing and maybe they will be what they want to be.Their determination is different because Michelle is doing ice skating and Warren is taking pictures of thunderstorms. "So you can see,there's hardly any time between the competitions to take a breath!"

  14. I think Michelle and Warren's determination is alike because they both try so hard to do their best. Like how even if it's dangerous, Warren will go to take pictures of a storm, and how Michelle tried out for the senior's even though she wasn't sure if she was ready. They are different though because Warren takes his time and Michelle is trying to do everything at the age of tweleve. An example that supports my reason would be, "I thought I was ready to become asenior skater, at the age of twelve.

  15. Michelle and warren have the same determination,beacause Michelle is determined to become a senior skater. Warren isreally determined to take great pictures of tornadoes and lightning.I think they are different because Michelle has to practice and Warren has to know where the tornadoes are going to be."I didn't see why I couldn't do it."

  17. I think their determenation are a like because Warren doesn't care if a tornado is a mile away,he just likes to get a good picture.Michelle also doesn't care what the judges are going to say,she just does it and gives it her all.They are different because Michelle is a ice skater,and Warren is a storm photographer.Here is a example from the story,she says,"Now that I'm in the Senior Level,I need to take it a step farther.I will have to have longer practices,and more practices a week.

  18. I think that Michelle Kwan's and Warren Faidly's determinatoin is alike because they want to finish there job and try 100% to get a good photo or a good landing after doing a flip.I think that they are trying as hard as they can to make the best person they can be.They are difrent because Warren takes photos and chases a storm in a car.Michelle iceskates and she can get tired Warren cant.Michelle cant iceskate with a car.But Warren cat use iceskates to chace a storm."Sirals and spred eagels,which are harder than you think,show off edges, balence, flexability, and speed.

  19. Warren fadly's and michelle determination are alike because Michelle is trying to do better than she realy is.She tries to win the olimpics while warren fadly tries to get good picture of storms and lightning.Warren fadly's and Michelle Kwan determination are diffrent because Michelle treis to win the olipics when she is 12 years old.While Warren takes photos all his life so it is easyer to take photos.It's harder to win the olipacs when your 12 and your competing against peaple that practised all their livees.like I said," I love a challenge".In some ways, this wasen't difficult picture for Warren to take." he's an experienced photographer".

  21. I think Michelle is very brave to go to practice try new things also compete. Almost every time she went to compatition she got great scores that is why she wanted to become a senor skater and she did."I thoght i was ready to become a senor scater".

  29. I think Michelle Kwan worked very hard to be in the Olympics. I think Warren Faidley also worked very hard to chase storms. Both were dangerous because Michelle could hurt herself falling down and Warren could get sucked into a tornado. Skating and storm chasing are different because the experiences are very different. Warren is outside more with nature and Michelle is in skating rinks that are manmade.

    I think they are both alike because they are brave and daring. They are different because one is about sports and the other is about weather.

    "Michelle Kwan won her firstcompetition at the age of seven."
