Even your dog has a blog
It goes without saying that Max, a 3-year-old golden retriever can't talk. But that doesn't stop him from chronicling his dog's life -- as told to his owner Aubrey Jones -- on the blog "Max the Golden Retriever".

It's like monkeys how they can remember light patterns better than humans.

Ashymashy - have you read the instructions and the articles?
The dog was on a link i found through my internet news site.
:-)
POINTS OF VIEW:
Abdul Rahman: Abdul Rahman thinks that vying national youth posts must have blogs to introduce themselves. if the don't have one they are not qualified to be leaders.
Party Politicians: Party Politicians think that bloggers spread lies and rumours.
FACEBOOK:
in the article about facebook the main point of opinion is: they want to prevent soldiers and Defence ministry from revealing information on internet sites like facebook.
EVEN YOUR DOG HAS A BLOG:
Authors purpose: i think that the authors purpose is to tell people about max's life and how he see's the world through his dog eyes.
My Opinion: think that max's blog is great to read and it has cool stories and expressive words and links to websites and it shows how max lives his life!!!!!
i hope i have written on all the subjects
thanks
bye
:-)
Outstanding work KittyMilo! That is an excellent response.
Everyone else may have to write their answers in their books.
No. 1:
A point of view:
Abdul Rahman states that every polotician needs a blog, because then the poloticians can write what they need to say (well, thats what popped up into my head when I mulled over the article).
The poloticians, however, are sure that blogs spread lies and rumours. (A bit of detective work for us, room5ians!)
No. 2:
Not so good face-book:
The main point in this is that in the text and pictures army soldiers are using on their accounts can be deciphered into 'sensitive' equipment, and that troops need to be more careful about where their best foot stomps.
No.3:
Max the golden retriver (and the room5ian!):
I am quite sure the authors purpose is to show how a dogs life is, and that because they don't speak english, their life is done in short blocks, not like I went over and looked how my tennis ball was....
My opinion:
I actually thought it was a bit hard to read. When I read things, they need to be really detailed and easy to read, that make sense and blend together like well-whipped sugar and butter (mmmmmmnnnnnnnn).
Thats all! (For now!)
excellent summarising and reporting and opinion sharing Neina-marie! Well done once again. A Spectacular analysis of the texts.
Neina-marie's last line is truly exquisite :-)
That's all (for now!)???
That line???
Or the line that usually wins me high distinctions in writing competitions (ICAS)???
The whipped sugar one????
The wrhiped sugar one is a simale.
the whipped sugar one - do you use it often?
No... it is the type of word. The simale, it is called. I think I said he stroked his beard thoughtfully, like a wise man telling our future and others in the piece for ICAS when I was 10.
I don't really know if this has to do with anything but I think blogs and online profiles can be fun and a great way to socialize with friends as long as you use it properly and safely.
whats next rats having blogs
