article of the week #13 week of October 15-19

Here is the article of the week for October 15-19. I did this one a little bit different. It is from CNN and as I read through it I highlighted some words that I thought may be difficult, and put the definition there as well. So as you are reading when you come to a highlighted word, check out the definition to help you make sense of the article.

Remember, complete paragraph, complete sentences, and THINK!! I want you to think and share your thoughts!

  1. This article by Moni Basu on CNN is about a cholera outbreak in Haiti. The articles purpose is to inform. The disease has killed roughly 800 people so far and more than 12,000 people are infected with it. The entire nation is in risk of getting it because they have no immunity to it. Cholera can kill someone in hours if untreated so Haiti is in trouble.

    The article “An Ideal of Service to our Fellow Man,” by Albert Einstein, was on the “ This I believe “ website but was originally broadcasted during the 1950’s. The purpose of this article was to get people to think about what our culture needs. Its written to all adults. Mr. Einstein wanted the community to find “beauty in life’s mysteries” and that the future of people depends on citizens choosing to serve others instead of themselves. Art and science keep people thinking about mysteries of the world. A good goal for mankind should be to help every individual be their best, so they can help everyone else. My reaction to this article is that at first, I was very confused, but after discussing this article with my mom I understand it.

    This article of the week is called,"796 dead in Haiti's cholera outbreak". It is about the out brake of cholera in haiti and the story of three brothers, their dyeing mother and their father, who tried to saver her before the infection killed her. the intended audience where the people researching haiti, or all the students in Mrs. coats class. The fact that we are trying to help haiti . what bothers me is that there should be more than a hand full of people.

    The article, "796 dead in Haiti's cholera outbreak," was written by Moni Basu of CNN on
    November 12, 2010, and was found on the CNN website. This article is talking about the multiple cholera patients out in Haiti. The intended audience is mainly older children and adults, but also anyone who has compasion for people other then themselves. After the natural disaster in January, many people thought that Haiti was done for a while, and nothing bad would happen antytime soon. Sad to say, but that was not the case. Now, around 800 people have lost their lives, to what is normally, a nonfatil disease. Since Haiti does not have the resoarses we do, their population is dying out because of this nasty outbreak. The idea of this article is to show people that there are other countries out there that need America's help. Us Americans need to stop being so selfish and need to care more. We need more doctors to volenteer and help out the other countries in need. It is very sad to think that more then a thousand people have died from an earthquake, and not even a year later, the same amount, and more, are dying of a disease that can be easily treated. When I read this article, I want to fly over there and help those people myself. They don't just need medical help, but they need support from just people with compassion. A lot of these human beings have lost their families, friends, and collegies with these two horible disaters. We need more people over in other countries helping the helpless, then having millions of people die, fighting a war, that is not nessesary.

    The article "796 dead in Haiti's cholera outbreak" was written by Moni Basu on November 12, 2010 3:15 p.m and published by CNN.com It is about the hardship ad struggle going on in Hati. This article was haeding towards the peope of the US saying that there are people struggling and they need help. Its about the horrible spread of Cholera in Hati an how its affecting hundreds of people who live there. The health department tries to help them prevent it by giving them advice but many of them cannot withstand the horrible disease. Health workers have even been spreading this word through cell phone texts saying "prevention is key" . I find this story truley sad and i worry for the people in Hati i can only hope things will get better for them

    The website post,"796 Dead In Haiti's Cholera Outbreak", was found on; www.diijo.com and is written by Moni Basu from the CNN news network. It was written more for the general publick of the world and was ment to inform the readers of what's going on in Haiti and what's being done interntionally to help out with the effort. I think that it's very tragic that they had just gone through such a devastating earthqauke which also had a high death toll and now they're having a cholera out break of this magnitude.

The purpose of this article is to inform people about what is happening in Haiti and is written for the general public. This article is about the cholera outbreak in Haiti and how it affected people there. People that are studying diseases say that this disease could affect the entire nation of Haiti. They are trying to teach people there how to prevent this disease. I think that is really sad what Haiti has been through. First the earthquake, then the tsunami and now this. I hope that everybody that is sick in Haiti will get better from this horrible disease.

    Article of the week number 13,"796 dead in Haiti's cholera outbreak" by Moni Basu, posted November 12th on CNN.com is about the cholera outbreak in Haiti. Its just a really sad situation for Haitians after all that they went through and still go through? They don't deserve it! It must be extremely hard for them to prevent themselves from getting cholera because of their living conditions. 12,303 have already gotten sick from it, and 796 dead.I think its horrible , no one should have to go through this!

    The article "796 dead in Haiti's cholera outbreak" was written by Moni Basu, from CNN. The article is to inform the nation of a huge outbreak of cholera in Haiti. The main idea is that they have no medicine or anyway to cure it. Many people have already died from the disease, and it looks like the number may increase. I am worried about the Haitians and hope they can find a cure.

    The title of the article is '796 dead in Haiti’s cholera out break.' This came from the CNN world website. The person who wrote it is Moni Basu,created in November 12, 2010 3:15 p.m. EST. It was to show how the people in Haiti are being destroyed and that it’s unsanitary to live in plus the people that live there now are having a difficult time in living in it. People that are helping them want everyone to donate money to them so they can help the people in Haiti and keep their place safe and save people with infection or sickness. I hope that people in Haiti get help and I hope the people that are sick can be saved and people with no homes can be given shelter.
