ReplyDeleteThis article is talk about STEM education is very important. The author have post 3 ways how to support the STEM education. The tone of this article is amused because 100Kin10, a network of over 200 partners, came together around a common goal: realizing President Obama’s challenge to train 100,000 high-quality science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) teachers by 2021. But later the tone became serious because Teacher salaries and other work compared differ greatly. So some parents and even other STEM teachers often discourage their children and students to become teachers. I think the purpose for this article is to tell people should give more support to the STEM education.
I agree with you. In addition, I think that the purpose of the article is also to inform people about the ways that business can provide to education.

ReplyDeleteThe tone of this author in this article on his opinion is "Pensive, and Worried" at the same time, because his purpose is that he's trying to tell the public to make a good decision about the upcoming election which is between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. He is telling us that there are consequences reguarding who you vote for, it can be positive or negative. For example: If Donald Trump became president this country would change totally in every single thing, his presidency nomination would be a disaster to every single person who's living here in the United States, it would cause all manner of economic, legal, political and moral crises problem either you were immigrant or not there would be an issue. While on the other hand the author said that Hillary Clinton voters are angry at her because she doesn't have a future plan for the country and the economic vision they desire.

The mood of this article is gratifying because Obama is one of the most important presidents that United Stated has had in the country history.

Then, the author analyzes that the main reason is climate change, and it makes the forest drier, changes the landscape. The tone of the author is serious because the author analyzes dire statistics and the bad impact of warmer temperature of the forests.

ReplyDeleteThis opinion on the page is talk about the opinion "Donald Trump Feeds the Russia Conspiracy Theories". It says the Donald Trump is hired by Putin. He is a spy in America. However, I think it is a serious problem because it really has the possible to be truth. Anyway, this opinion can't help Hillary Clinton out of trouble.
Okay, the tone of this opinion is serious, suspicious and suspense. The author are question to people that is Donald Trump the spy of Russia and author shows many evidence to support his/her opinion. Author's purpose is makes people who live in America consider the big problem that is Donald Trump the spy of Russia. These people will consider it for next president. Also, I think this opinion is from Hillary Clinton's team. Just maybe!

ReplyDeleteThis article is about Bill Clinton's speech. This speech portrayed a warmer Hillary in our mind. The purpose of this article was to persuade some people that doesn't like Hillary, and inform others about this speech. The tone of this article is little romantic because it was talk about the love story between Bill and Hillary and how Bill loves her. And also, it talked about why do we support Hillary.

ReplyDeleteThe tone of this writer in this article on his sentiment is anger and fearful. This article about Hilary Clinton election because some people thought Hilary Clinton will lose the this November election. However, some people also thought Clinton did a lot of mistakes and people call her as a lier. For example: If Hilary Clinton will become a president. So, it will be very bad because she doesn't have any positive plan to American people and for immigrants. I think everybody knows, because if she becomes a president so people have to pay a lot of taxes for the government. Also, they talk about eight years after Hilary Clinton failed to win The Democratic Party. After Clinton, people start to discuss Donald Trump's Republican Party because people thought Donald Trump is racist and he's anger person. At the end of the article, some people confused because they don't know which Party they need to vote Republican Party or Democratic Party. Also, they don't know which Party they can trust.
In my opinion there's have another choice to vote for president, Donald Trump because he has a lot of plans and he wants to protect United State. So he was angry about immigration because immigration worker they don't check people very good. For that reason terrorism increase. However, he doesn't send back immigrant to their home country. He wants immigration workers to take their time and check people. So there's will not be any problems with immigration. Donald Trump wants to protect America, so will prefer to vote for Donald Trump.

ReplyDeleteIn the beginning of the story the author emphasized how black people's lives are considered. The tone of the article is very serious because it said that the violence of the police officers against black people has increased. Also the supreme court has created laws that limit the consequences for violating the fourth amendment and privileged police officers. The tone of the story is also " Worried" because it showed that the author cared about black lives. Every moments that the fourth amendment remains unchanged, it increased the risks people's lives. The purpose of this article is to let everyone knows that there is inequality between black and white people and that need to change.
Nice Job! I like the way that you've began to tell us about the article.
DeleteGreat job this article has a serious tone too. I take the same article. But I just add some new information.

ReplyDeleteThis article is about the need for community food programs is growing fast among the working poor. The purpose of this article was to help families out of poverty. The tone of this article is serious because the writer is talk about poor people. Those families are struggling to buy groceries.
http://www.tearsflow.com/2016/07/short-but-true-story-of-poor-family.html
ReplyDeleteThis is a story about a poor family without enough food. Because of the father’s death. they got 3 days worth of food from neighbors to survive. But after the 3rd day, the food is finished. One boy was ill and the girl asks her mother when brother will die so that they can eat. The tone of the article is sad because many people around the world suffers from hunger. However, there are still many people in the world waste food. I think the purpose is to tell people not to waste food and think more about how to fix the hunger problem around the world.

Be that as it may, this article show as some real advances have been made in social insurance, ethnic and racial inconsistencies stay in the counteractive action, conclusion and treatment of numerous ailments, especially prostate malignancy. Additionally, the dangers confronting African-Americans are stunning: They have the most elevated rate of prostate malignancy and the most noteworthy death rate from the ailment of any ethnic or racial gathering in the United States. Finally, the tone of this article is negative because the author shows us fustrating actions and facts.

ReplyDeleteThis article is about what happen in the real life of America. The First Lady"s Speech" I woke up every morning in a house built by slaves. We all know that politic is an activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.
Donald Trump is a kind of person that doesn't know how to make a difference between his own life and others. His speech is like a fireball. He treats people whatever he wants,he doesn't have any respect for the symbol of Anerica.The tone has taken more serious because America is not me ,it's us. People of the gouvernment of United State have taken speech against Donald Trump to tell him that it's not about the way you talk that would lead you president.
The tone has changed and became pompous because when a black woman with a great education take place in front of more than thousand people to show what she has learned is like a weapon.
Therefore, America is not to promise what you will do by using your selfishness to destruct people. It's about unite ideas ,be stronger and patriotic. We are a community ,we are America.

ReplyDeleteThis article is about how they treat black people in America. The tone of this story is mostly likely horror because the police scared them. It's a kind of racism, a guy named medina explained that just because he tried to give his point of view about what he thinks about the racism, on Saturday July 8 when he was with his mother in his car. they trailed behind him, they pulled him out of the car and they handcuffed him.
The tone of the article has change it become optimistic because there is a policeman who try to do the same thing as them. He helped them to get out of this problem his name is Harry. He's not agree how police use their brutality against black.
