In the article from the Denver Post, "Lakewood Rescuers Pull Boy Out of Hole" what matters is being aware of your surroundings. A ten year old boy was pulled out of a water main hole after he fell in it while playing with his friend. This happened at 8753 West Cornell Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado. It is said that he fell from a height of about nine feet into the water hole. This connects to me because I think it is very important to be aware of your surroundings to stay safe and keep out of trouble. This connects to the world because everyone should be aware of their surroundings and should watch out for each other.

In the Denver Post article, "Train Victim ID'd in Mesa County" what matters is not letting people who are intoxicated go off alone. A man was crushed by a freight train in Mesa County on Tuesday this week. They said that they could only identify him by his dental records. Before he was hit by the train, he was seen earlier at DJ's Roadhouse in Grand Junction and was believed as being intoxicated. This connects to me because I don't think anyone should be alone while intoxicated, they should have someone a little more responsible with them so they don't do anything that could get them in trouble or anything. This connects to the world because I think everyone should realize that sometimes alcohol can be a very dangerous thing and since it impairs the mind to make good decisions, you shouldn't let someone go off alone while under the influence. What matters in the Denver Post article "Train Victim ID'd in Mesa County" is not letting anyone go off alone while intoxicated.
