The topic of the article is stealing.

The main idea of the article is that google has stole one of Steve Jobs’ inventions the, Iphone, and remade it into an Android and the effects of that.

The main idea is stated.

The author’s purpose for writing this article is to inform readers that before Steve Jobs’ died he wanted to sew Google for stealing his creations.

The author’s perspective in this article is objective/subjective (biased) because: The author’s perspective in this article is unbiased because this article is talking about when Steve Jobs’ was most angry when his iphone was stolen but this article also states that when he was a young man one of his products was based on technology of others 

The pattern of organization of this article is cause and effect because Google stole the ideas of the iphone and Steve Jobs’ was going to attack Google for that.  

The reason the author chose this pattern for this article is to show the quarrel between Steve Jobs’ and Google and the effect of it.  

The text features included in this article are: One text feature that I found in this article is a picture of Steve Jobs’ holding up one of his inventions. This text feature helps the readers by showing how proud he was of his invention and how smart he was. Another text feature that I found in this book was a caption under Steve Jobs’ picture and this helps the readers by explaining what is in the picture and what the picture means.           

This article is about (a summary in your own words)  this article is about when Google stole the ideas of one of Steve Jobs’ creation, which was the iphone. Steve was so mad that he decided to attack Google. Steve Jobs’ was infuriated with the idea of Google getting money off of his ideas so he attacked Google but some of his customers protested. Then CEO for Google was switched and then Jobs’ and Page became friends. Then Jobs’ died. 

The significance (importance) of this article is that Google stole the ideas of one of Steve Jobs’ creations which was the iphone

What I learned from this article is Steve Jobs’ wanted to sue Google for stealing the ideas of the iphone.   

What I liked about this article is that this article was easy to understand and was interesting.

What I did not like about this article was that the article only stated some facts about Google and a lot about Apple.

 Who should read this article and why: I think everyone should read this because it would show everybody what Google did. I think kids should read this article as well because it might teach them not to steal.

This article reminds me of (text-to-self) This article reminds me of when I stole something from my sister and she went to my mom and made her tell me to give it back. I do not know any books with this topic. This article related to the world because when somebody steals something and you know it you won’t just sit there and not say anything you would fight back.
