The author was being Argumentative in this article. The author argues that we cannot live on caffeine and why. As stated in the article "When you get down to it, why can't humans live on caffeine" The Author is asking a question which will start the argument. Another piece of evidence "We don't the gear to digest deriatives further" she explains her reason why we can't live off of it unlike other animals. A third piece of evidence "But cows, rabbits, and other grass munching creatures are able to extract calories" She Tells of other animals that they can do it by than tell why they can unlike how we cannot digest certains things like cellulose. I can actively learn about this by researching more into caffeine and what is required to digest this substance.Caffeine can't be used to sustain our life, but it can for others who have the ability to work with it.

Current Event Article #3 Canadian Built Flying Saucer
In this article, the Author's purpose was expository. The author wanted to tell us about the saucer and the newly release documents.As stated int he article "The disk-shaped craft -- which comes complete with an ejector seat and was powered by a ram jet" The author is telling us details about this saucer and tells us specifics about it. Also stated in the article "It reveals that the air force had contracted the construction of the craft to a canadian company avro aircraft imited in Ontario" The author tells us the the Saucer would be built by a canadian conpany in Ontario, Canada. A third evidence from the quote "After all, the airfoce dubbed it project 1794 -- aranged those numbers and you'll get 1947, the year of the roswell incident." The Author tells us about this and gives a hypothesis that the author made up. I Myself don't believe in aliens and so this tells me people who think they have spotted aliens may have actually just spotted the government. The events in new mexico that said aliens exist was during a time like this, where the goverment did alot that nobody knew about. So Aliens may have been the government. The world has encountered aliens supposedly but no proof had been made. This author goes out to tell us about this and even uses the files to go and make a hypothesis about the roswell incident.

Book Review
Michael Scott's The Alchemyst, Is a book with thrilling details and a amazing story.
This book shows in amazing details the scenery and location. It begins with Sophie and Josh Newmen who are twins and they are working. Sophie works at a tea shop but she doesn't like tea but likes the smell of it. Josh works at a bookstore across the street owned by Mr. and Mrs. Flamel. From Los Angeles to the shadow realm to using a leygate which are ways of getting from one area to another quickly and are all over earth. They used a leygate to get to paris.
The characters in the book all have their own amazing story. Starting with Nicholas Flamel, he was born long ago and was a alchemyst who met perenelle his wife. He's doing this for good but he has his flaws. Like how how he never told Sophie and josh about the previous twins. They aren't that fird. They've been living for hundreds of years bt drinking a potion that the codex tell them. They must constantly make a youth drink to stay alive every so often. Josh and Sophie are twins. Sophie seems to be more calm than Josh. Josh wants to be like his dad, a Palentologist. He loves history. Perenelle is Nicholas's wife. Dr.Dee is the main protagonist. He is evil and also lives forever. His smell is of Rotten Eggs which josh notices early in the book.
This book Seem to me partially like the Hunger games. Almost no one can help them and they must try to survive. Dr.Dee is trying to get the Codex but gets a page that contains the drink that makes them young. So he has what they need. So Dee is in control kinda like in the hunger games with their president who controls everything.
I Would reccomend this book to anyone who likes reading books that involves a chase and a urge to overcome evil and survive.

Current Event Article #2
http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/dealership-camaro-thrashing-story-buys-back-car-satisfied-221510197.html
This article was written to show how a trusted Dealer can do wrong. A Camaro going to get fixed was purposely abused so they can charge more. The story had this "South Carolina resident William Clark's standoff with a dealership he accused of abusing his 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS while in for service has ended in a settlement" The dealership abused his property and tried to charge him for it.
The guy working at that place had no right to do that. Even though he stated "Clark drove the Camaro just as hard once it was in his possession", that doesn't give him the right to do that to his car. He can't drive the car hard since the owner drives it that way, it's not right. Especially when charging extra for doing that.
A good thing did come out of this article though, the Dealership offered to buy back the car at a rate higher than usualy."the dealership bought the Camaro back at more than Blue Book value", a good end. The dealer did the wrong thing and so had to pay up for it and so he did what he had to do. Buy the car back but at a higher price.
