Main Idea: Explain how even though Robert Pattinson's character is not in the book much, his character will be in the movie as a hallucination of Kristen Stewart's character.

Authors purpose: The author tries to make sense of the things added to the movie "New Moon" that weren't in the book.

Details:

• Kristen Stewart plays Bella Swan with Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen
• Edward decides it is in Bella's best interest if he leaves her for good
• With Edward gone Bella grows closer to Jacob
• she uses "dangerous stunts to get Edward to come back as a hallucination
• Bella goes to Italy to prevent Edward from killing himself.

Summary: With Edward being a supernatural character he has to hide who he really is. Bella swan can sometimes be a bit retrofashion and do things differently then the norm. Jacob Black is my least favorite character because he thinks he is ultraspecial! In the scene with Bella in Italy she erupts loudly for Edward to stop what is he about to do.

Blog # 4- Somali pirates attack French military flagship

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091007/wl_africa_afp/somalipiracyshippingfrance_20091007151820

Main Idea: Somali pirates attempt to "storm" the French navy's 18,000 tonne flag ship, after mistaking it for a cargo vessel.

Authors purpose: To inform the readers of the attack and its outcome.

Details: La Somme is a 525 foot command vessel and fuel tanker
* La Somme is the French command vessel in the Indian ocean
- it oversees the French air, land, and sea fighting forces
- fighting Somali pirates and hunting terrorist
* The pirates were aboard two ships when they open fired
* After realising their mistake the pirates tried to flee, but were pursued by french forces
* When they caught one of the "skiffs" they found 5 pirates but no weapons, food, or water
* One of the pirates boats got away

Summary: This mistaken attack on the French's naval ships has not been the first the Somali pirates. Just last year 130 merchant ships were attacked. I think these pirates need to study shipology a little so they can tell the difference when they attack. After the pirates figured out they attack the wrong ship they averted the scene as quickly as possible.
