 * __ Sugar Overload __**

= 1) This article is about the amount of sugar Americans consume daily and how we eat way too much. =

= 2) I think the audience for this article would be any American. The author wants to explain the effects of daily sugar eating. =

= 3) The purpose of this article is to inform Americans how much sugar they eat on a daily basis. It also is to show what might happen to you if you eat too much sugar. =



__Boy, 12, faces grown up murder charges__ ** __1__) This article is basically about a boy that murdered his “about to be” stepmother. The boy is 12 years old and lives in Pennsylvania. The biggest argument is whether he should be fined with adult or child charges. 2) I think that the audience of this article was headed directly toward teenagers. 3) I think the purpose of this article was to inform/aware teenagers of the things that can happen. This is supposed to make them think before they act.

__Superman and Me__

1) This was about the Indian boy who teaches himself to read at an early age and advances quickly. As he grows up, he tells his story in 3rd person of how books changed his life so dramatically.

2) I think that this article was written for a general audience or maybe people that don't read because it is just supposed to inform anyone that reading/books can change lives like they did in this article.

3) I think the purpose of this article was to inform and persuade people. I think this because the purpose is to tell people who read the article that books can change lives. I also think it might be trying to persuade the people in the world who don't read to start because it might have a great impact in their lives.

Christopher Columbus

My explorer, Christopher Columbus was a well know sailer and explorer from Spain. He sailed in 1492 and his goals were to find riches and to find a faster trade route with Asia. He found what he though to be the Indies but turned out to be the United States of America. His accomplishment was finding the US and being the first to find the Bahamas. Some facts to know are that he was cruel to the Natives and also sailed on the Pinta, Nina, and the Santa Maria. Bibliography: 1) //"Christopher Columbus." //Garden of Praise//.

toc =Symbolic Story Representation= 1. What do you notice within the text that leads you to believe you should pay attention to these ideas and motifs? Do not write questions. Your responses should be in normal writing, not headings.
 * Trey :) :P :D ;] :o** 9-29-09
 * In the text, the author brings up some of the motifs over and over again. This is a way of letting the reader know that the idea or motif is important to the story and can and will be seen again. What are these motifs? **

2. Why do you think the author drew your attention to these ideas? What do you think is the authors "take" or generalizations about these issues?


 * I think the author drew my attention to these ideas because they are very important to the story. I think the authors generalizations are that the reader will keep reading and understand why he is using these motifs over and over again. I think that surviving on an island alone would be very hard for anybody.**

3. Explain how you agree, or disagree with the author's generalizations about these issues. How will you show this response through a cutout?


 * I agree with the author's generalizations about this issue because nobody can say that it is easy to live on an island with one friend, little food and water, and no shelter. If I were to show this response through a cutout, my cutout would be of a nodding head, showing that I truly agree with the author** ** . **

=Eutopias= = =

A Eutopia is a name for an ideal community or society. It is supposed to be a seemingly perfect socio-political legal system so there is no violence, crime, poverty, or depression. It is something that someone would think is a non evil place. There are Ecological eutopias and religious eutopias. Ecological eutopias refer to economics and describe new ways in which society should relate to nature and religious europeas refer to religion. All of the bad parts of the community have been removed and everybody is happy. The society also encourages tolerance of all religions. I would sometimes prefer living in a eutopia and sometimes not because there is good and bad. Good-
 * no violence
 * get whatever you want
 * perfect place
 * no pollution

Bad-
 * no competition
 * no wrong so no learning
