Analyzing Articles

"Pakistan Burn Victims Turn Beauticians"

- This article basically talked about 2 Pakistan women; Saira Liaqat and Urooj Akbar who were beauticians even though they were seriously injured from the acid or fire. The two women had similar incidents; their husbands, had basically poured acid or burned her. The two women however, even through serious injury, didn't gave up and became a beautician who now works in a beauty salon in Pakistan.

- This article is an article with good ideas and quite clear theme. The article is well supported with many quotes, such as, "Every person wishes that he or she is beautiful, But in my view, your face is not everything. Real beauty lies inside a person, not outside."(Liaqat, 21). The article somehow helps the reader get an idea of what the situation is in the article. Additionally, ideas are reasonably accurate with support, and the writer seems to be writing from knowledge or experience.



Article #1
http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=8347902
"Man Claims Aliens Send Him Messages"
- I came to look at this article because it was very unusual. It somehow caught my attention, in the idea of aliens. This article would be considered a good article in how the writer wrote it, but if considering the idea and the theme, it would be considered as a bad article. The article has many thoughts and researched ideas with many support using quotes, details, and backups from the research, but the article doesn't really seem to show what the real conclusion is at the end. The article just leaves off with a suspense idea. The writer says that some people think the man who claims to met an alien, Stan Romanek, is crazy and others that its true. Furthermore, the article leaves the reader with more questions.



Article #2
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/08/18/new.generation.telescopes/index.html
"Telescopes to show universe soon after Big Bang"
- This article is very good in a way of describing many details about the telescope, which is the main idea. It also talks about space, which is also related. It mostly talks about how telescopes advanced far from the past, and that they would be able to see many things people couldn't see in the past about the universe. The idea is to tell us about the telescope. There are many supporting ideas to this article. It is mainly reasonably accurate, and is full of detail.
