The topic of the article is theft


The main idea of the article is: The main idea of the article is that one of Steve Job's creations, the Iphone has been stolen by Google and changed it into the Android, and the effect of it.
This is stated in the article.



The author’s purpose for writing this article is to inform.


The author’s perspective in this article is objective/subjective (biased) because this article is Steve Job’s angry with Google taking his idea of an iphone to an android.


The pattern of organization of the article is cause and effect because it is Google taking his idea and then him getting angry.


The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is the author wants to show the chain of events.


The text features included in the article are subtitle that helps by giving us extra information on what the article is about, picture helps by letting the reader know what Steve Jobs looked like, and the source that helps by


This article is about (a summary in your own words) That Google took Steve Job’s idea and mad it to their own and that made Steve angry.


Current Events Journal

The significance (importance) of this article is that to let everyone know Google took Steve’s idea


What I learned from this article is to never plagiarize because the other person will find out.


What I liked about this article is that it argued both sides.


What I did not like about it is that Google took a product and made it their own and mainly just changed the name of the device.


Who should read this article and why? You should read this article to be informed about what Google has done to take from Apple.


This article reminds me of the time I saw someone cheating of my homework and turned it in saying they worked hard on it. I never actually read an article or book just like this one. This is very comment with people taking others ideas and saying it was theirs instead of giving the credit to the real inventor of the idea.
