    The title of this article is "Do What You Love," by Tony Hawk and was posted on thisIbelieve on July 24th, 2006. The purpose of this article is to infrom the intended audience, which is anyone who is involved in anything, that you should pursue anything that you like or that you are good at no matter what pushes you down or keeps you from achieving that goal. The main idea of this article, that people should take pride in what they do, even if it is misunderstood by the people. I think that Tony Hawk is right, we have to do what we love and fight for it no matter what people say. If you love it, you should do it.

    The article was titled "Do What You Love". This was posted on July 24,2006. the author of this article is Tony. Its purpose is to inform all how are in a bad situation to strive to do what they love. The intended audience is Mrs. Coats class, and any one looking for inspiration. In short, Tony's main idea is to provide an example to run on. He is setting a good example. I think that people in our time jump at any job offering because of our economic state, but this is a good reminder to study hard and reach of the sky. You will be surprised in what you end up with.

    In the NPR show broadcasted on July 24,2006 “Do What You Love,” by Tony Hawk, he says to never give up on what you want to be when you grow up. He is talking to all the people who thought their dreams were shattered because someone told them they couldn’t be what they wanted. Tony wants all the people to never to give up on what they want to achieve. When he was in high school one of his teachers told him that he wasn’t going to become a pro skateboarder. When he became a pro skateboarder, he felt like he accomplished something. I think he is right on never giving up on what you want to be. I am going to keep on trying to become a chef.

    The title of this awesome article is "Do What You Love" by none other than professional skater Tony Hawk. The article was posted on thisIbelieve on July 24th, 2006. I wouldn't call it an article it's more of a life story in a few short paragraphs. The purpose of the Story/Article is to motivate people to not let any person say you will fail in life, because it's up to you. You can do any thing you want you just have to keep trying (AKA: perseverance) and never give up. Tony was told that if he didn't follow the rules in life he wouldn't get any where or do anything important. That all he would be is the guy on the sidewalk begging for money, but I bet you he is better off (money wise)than the teacher that told him that he wouldn't make it as a skater. I'm not sure about the intended audience because everyone needs to live a life like that, and not be the "average Joe" stand out, be unique,most importantly BE YOURSELF! So the intended audience is every living, and breathing person on this planet. It doesn't matter what race you are, what county your live in, or what language you speak, there are no limits to what you can do. Some people say, "sky is the limit" well no its not, because if you want to be an astronaut than you are out side of the sky, you are in space. My thoughts on this, well I have a lot of opinions about this, but the best one is that don't let any one tell you,"you can't do that."

    The title of this article is "Do What You Love" by professional skateboarder Tony Hawk. This article was posted on july 24th,2006. The purpose of this article is to tell the reader that nobody chooses what your going to do for the rest of your life but you. The intended audience is anybody and everybody. So the main idea of this article is to do what you truely love to do. Tony explained that when he was in high school his teacher told him he would never make it as a skateboarder. I think whoever reads this will realize to strive to do what they love and not let anybody tell them they can't do it or that they will fail and they will reach for their dream.

    In this article "Do What You Love" by Tony Hawk. Posted on July 24, 2006, Taken fro NPR’s All Things Considered. The purpose of this passage is to tell the readers to do what you love to do not do what the other person tells you to do. You see other people complaining about how they hate there kobs. They probly didn't have the desire that Tony Hawk did when he was 17 years old. The people he is trying to reach out are then students or workers that have been told that the proffessoin they wanted would take them no where. Tony Hawk has been told that speech so many times in high school even been shouted at in calss when he told his teachers he wanted to be a pro skateboarer. His message is to do what you want to do. Never give up on your dream and it might pay off.

    I completely agree with this person becasuse, it is true that you need to follow your dreams, or keep trying for what you love. Tony Hawk is a great example and is a great person to be writing this article. He followed his dream and is now one of the biggest skateboarders alive. Tony Hawks advice was great on to not letting anyone or anything get in your way.

    This is in response to AndrewA6 comment.

    I chose to comment on his article because he explained the article good. There a a couple of punctuation and spelling errors, but his comment is still able to be read clearly. He is good at getting main ideas out of the text.

    This is a response to AOW #3. I liked this comment because the article nearly takes the words out of my mouth. In the comment, they agree with Tony saying you should do what you love and go on with it. I agree with that. I want to be a professional drummer. And there is no freakin' way anyone will stop me from doing so. You should do what you love and love what you do. This what they wrote:
