I read the article 3-legged dog wins first place, and thought it was interesting to read what a dog could do with three legs and that he competed over 9 dogs. I learned that you can do anything and win at your best effort. I think the authors purpose was to say that anything is possible.
Wow it is amazing that an author would try to teach you a lesson. What a good article.
I think the dog worked really hard at winning.
I learned about the ipad & how much it cost.I was interest in the cool facts.I think the author was informing readers about ipads.

It is so cool that lady gaga won up to 13 womans awards!

I heard that the authors purpose is that when ever you say you are bored to death the you say you are bored the more likely you are going to die earlier than anybody else in the whole wide world.My fact is that more you are bored the more your going to die.
Then I do not want to be bored. I can always find something to do. How about you?
How about the purpose of the author was to inform. The author gave you information about Lady Gaga winning lots of Oscar and Grammy awards.
I found this story interesting entertaining. I learned that you can but a dog or cat in a washing machine. The purpose of the author telling you this story his to inform you about whats going in the world.

Austin, what was the purpose of the author? What did you learn?
I thought the student that got susspended for wearing a santa suit was funny because he was going to pass out canycanes at school. But the day before the principal told him it was not a good idea .But he did it any way I also think the auther was trying to entertain. But it did not say who the auther was
Kara, your article gives you something to think about. Do you go ahead with your idea even if the principal says it’s not a good idea?
I would NEVERwear a santa suite school never ever ever and,I would NEVER disobay my principle and,the fact that I noticed is that the kid was from Suburban Philadelphia my opinon is i would not wear a santa suit to school.
I think it would be fun to wear a Santa Suit to school but I would not disobey my principal. I’m glad you wouldn’t disobey your principal either.
To run with the big dogs,run with geoge:

I read th article about a 650 lb. cow found in a pool.
I learned to never leave a cow out at night.
it was insteresting because it took five men to pull a 650 pound cow out of a pool.
I think the author wrote this article to informe you to always watch your cow.

The article I read was Scrub-a-dub your pup- in a washing machine! Something I read is that the dog-o-matic machine would be easir to give dags and cats baths. Vending machines to get your dogs or cats squeaky clean are popping up in France, Great Britain and Japn. For about 30$ your pet canget your pet washed and blow dryed in 33 minutes. The author wrote this to enter tain us.
Courtny, I wish I had one of these machines to wash my dogs. This sounds really handy.

The author wrote this article to inform the reader.
Would you like to have a dog this big? Where would you keep it?
Would you like to have a dog this big? You could ride him like a horse. lol

I read a very interesting and meaningful article about Michelle Obama trying to make a government budget to help get fresh foods to communities that don’t have fresh food sources, such as a grocery store or public garden. I don’t know who the author is, but I think they were trying to inform people. I didn’t see any opinions in this article, but I do reccomend it to everyone that is interested in the government and helping people.
I think it is important to have fresh foods for everyone. It is wonderful for her to take on this cause.
I read about Joseph Pritchard. He is an eight-year old boy how was born with a defomaty. His dream is to be a soccer goalie, but his gloves don’t fit right.

What a great thing for Puma to special make gloves for this 8-year old boy. I like stories that are good or have a good ending.

It was fun for us this year to get snow. I like a little snow. I wouldn’t like it if it snowed all the time.
