Title: Booking a flight to space with travel insurance
Author: Kenneth Chang
Source: Newspaper
The topic of the article is: a flight to space
The main idea of the article is: Booking a flight to space with travel insurance (stated)
The authors purpose for writing this article is to inform us with a opinion he obviously is interested in which is booking a flight to space.
The authors perspective in this article is objective/subjective (biased) because he uses only his opinions of space travel and does not say anything negative about it.
The pattern of organization of this article is argument and support because he introduces the topic and gives details that would support it including other people who support it as well.
The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is to prove himself correct with putting some good supporting details.
The text features included in the article are: Using word with different font color this helped me by categorizing what is the most important to the least. Another text feature I saw was the other used bold font this helped when I skim and scanned because it gave me a good summary of the article.
This article is about a group of a lot of people want to make their first trip to space and they are doing many things to try to make this a dream come true it is also about how they will make travel insurance and they are overcoming hard obstacles to try to reach to their goals.
The significance of the article is that they are doing hard things to make this come true they are paying billions of $ and to show how much it cost is $200,000 a ticket.
What I learned from this article is that one day this will come true and people will actually fly to space easily without a problem because now it is a little hard to try to do that.
What I liked about the article is how the author names people who bought tickets and he talks about lots of them and tells you what they said in a interview or what he heard them saying in different occasions.
What I did not like about it was how the author just jumped right into the topic it was a little hard to understand he should of gave some back round information before the fact that he just went in the main idea.
Who should read this article are people who also want to go to space this will be just for them because they will love the topic of the article and will here some positive comment of different people and will understand the benefits of flying to space.
This article remind me of Ilan Ramon a famous jewish astronaut whose dream was to go to the moon s well as space.
This article reminds does not really remind me of any book I have read in the past.
This article remind me of the world because space is becoming a problem everybody wants to go their and are willing to do anything it takes to get their.
