Author: Perry Stein

Source: Internet

The main idea of the article is (implied/stated): three generations of pines family have served in the military (stated).

The author’s purpose for writing this article is to inform the readers on what is happening within some of the families who serve in the military

The author’s perspective in this article is biased because he is proud to write about a family who has lived three generations in the military.

The pattern of organization of the article is flashback

The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is because it discusses what happened to Bolivia Perez Rios and a little bit of his life in the military.

The text features included in the article are: photographs. Picturing what author is trying to explain to the reader. Sub-topics help by telling the reader what the next few parts of the article would be about. Captions help by explaining to the readers what is happening in the photograph or picture.

This article is about Bolivar, a soldier who served in the army. It talks about him in 1942 and how he fought in World War II. This article also talks about his family. His family has been living for three generations on after the other each one serving the army.

The significance (importance) of this article is that it speaks about how a 92 year old man how served the army for 70 years and how his son, his grandson, and his great grandson are serving the army.

What I learned from this article is who Bolivar Perez was and what he lived and gone though just to serve his country.

What I liked about this article is that it had absolute accurate information and answered every single question I had about it.

What I did not like about it is that there was one part in which it wasn’t accurate on. It didn’t include much information about his kids and how they serve the army.

I think that every person who is not appreciating everything that the military does for them and help them live because then they would probably stat appreciating.

This article reminds of how I always stand up for myself, the book I read about a boys in the military, and how every time I watch the news it talks about the military and what is going on with them

There was no new vocabulary what so ever for me.
