Author: Kenneth Chang

Source: Internet

The topic of the article is space-traveling insurance 

The main idea of the article is: if it is possible to have passengers to go to the moon (implied)

The author’s purpose for writing this article is to explain readers the possibilities of space traveling, the cost, and the requirements.

The author’s perspective in this article is objective (biased) because the tone of her writing gives the readers a message that she supports the fact of families traveling to space considering she didn’t include any risks.

The pattern of organization of the article is argument and support.

The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is because she writes something and gives supporting facts (strong argument)

The text features included in the article are: Bolded words and topics. Bolded words helps by giving the reader the message of an important word, phrase or, sentence, topics helps by telling the readers the main idea of a certain passage or paragraph. This article is about certain people (people who study a lot of the moon) want to turn their business around and have people taking a spaceship to the moon. According to the article the estimated price for this would be $200,000. “It’ll be just like scheduling a flight to L.A.” say Ms. Garrett, which means while we get closer to the future it will be that easy.

Current Events JournalThe significance (importance) of this article is that people are inform people that later in the future people will be able to book a flight to the moon as their vacation.

What I learned from this article is that now that people are more advance at studying not only the moon but also the solar system, where we might also be able to send families to explore it for themselves.

What I liked about this article is that it included all of the good effects it has on humans.

What I did not like about it is how the author included all the pros and good effects that it did not include all of the cons and risks we will be taking.

The kind of people that I think should read this article are the business makers interested in the moon like Russia if wher they might be able to get a great idea out of it.

This article reminds me of (text-to-self) my friend Eric who always wanted to go to the moon and explore it with his own eyes.

This article reminds me of (text-to-text) the book exploring the moon which includes pictures, descriptions, and even a couple parts f the moon.

This article reminds me of (text-to-world) the movies transformers which is about aliens from space and their ship that crashed on the moon.
