The topic of the article is Warm and Furry, but They Pack a Toxic Punch
The main idea of the article is: Warm and Furry, but They Pack a Toxic Punch
(implied/stated)
The author’s purpose for writing this article is to inform because he informs people about the toxic things.
The author’s perspective in this article is objective/subjective (biased) because the author asks other people’s opinions and what they think not only his.
The pattern of organization of the article is compare and contrast.
The reason the author chose this pattern for the article compare what would happen with the animal and contrast what would happen if there is the animal around the environment.
The text features included in the article are: Animal, big, furry.
Animal helps by being big.
Animal helps by being furry.
And furry helps by being on animals.
This article is about (a summary in your own words) about a skunk they found who is toxic to the environment and he smells bad and he is bad and he just not the best to live with or be around with like he is not good to be in the environment, and they are warm and furry but they are toxic.
The significance (importance) of this article is that always check who the animal is before touching it or doing something to it.
What I learned from this article is to never touch an animal unless someone approves it or says the animal is ok.
What I liked about this article when they talk about how the animal can be bad to the environment.
What I did not like about it is when they talked about the toxic he can make.
Who should read this article and why I think all ages between 10 and 60 because people older than 60 won’t probably like it, and people less the 10 which means their kids won’t like it because it won’t interest them.
This article reminds me of…
(Text-to-self): This article reminds me of the time I touched a dog and then I found out I was allergic to dogs.
(Text-to-text): This article reminds me of the time I read a science book in my science class about animals that can be bad to the environment.
(Text-to-world): this article reminds me of stories I hear on the new of people who get bitten by animals they don’t know because they disturb them just like if you disturb a dog its gets angry and attacks you.
