Discussion
I chose these articles because these are topics I am interested in. Ray Bradbury was one of the authors I was introduced to in a high school literature class and I enjoy all his works, which is not always the case for all authors. I love dogs and I find Welsh corgis to be one of the breeds that I like the most. Baking is something I enjoy doing when I have time and while I cannot cook very well, I generally have greater success with baking.

Searching on Wikipedia and Encyclopaedia Britannica are both straightforward but I find the details available from Wikipedia to be in an easier to read format. Encyclopaedia Britannica has multiple tabs and pages that one needs to click on whereas Wikipedia has everything shown on one list with a simple contents bar that can shortcut the user to the subtopic they are interested in. There are no ads on Wikipedia but the Encyclopaedia Britannica website has ads, social media links, and an assortment of links that take up a lot of space on the webpage. I find the Wikipedia pages cleaner, more straightforward, and less distracting than the Encyclopaedia Britannica pages. Encyclopaedia Britannica has a few short and general paragraphs on whichever article one searches for but Wikipedia can go into quite a bit of detail which requires subheadings and more organization. I found the information from Encyclopaedia Britannica to be too general and there was not enough detail. I appreciated the amount of detail on the Wikipedia page.
