The author of this article is by Rachel Syme. The name of this article is “Hooray for Fiona the Hippo, Our Bundle of Social-Media Joy”. This article comes from The New York Times. She published it on November 25, 2017. The web address for this article is https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/25/style/Fiona-the-hippo.html

The article brings the reader’s attention because Fiona is a famous baby hippo that was born premature. The article is about a famous premature baby hippo, Fiona. She was born premature and needed help right away and couldn’t breathe or nurse on her own. Fiona will be 12-months-old on January 24th. Fiona was born at  Cincinnati Zoo in Cincinnati, Ohio. Fiona is famous because she was the first ever hippo to survive being premature. She got through this by being helped by the veterinarians and employees helping her breathe and being by her side 24/7. I think out of all the five “W’s” and “H”, the “What” is the most important because it tells what the article is all about. This event was national. People were surprised of how Fiona had survived being premature. The whole country heard about Fiona because she is one of a kind. The main idea about this article is that Fiona the Hippo was the first ever hippo to survive being born too premature and she went viral all over the country. I think the author did not put the facts from most important to least important.

Yes, this article came from a wire service. Some sources in the article are Michelle Curley, who has a Fiona tattoo on the back of her neck, and Mifflin Harcourt, the zoo director. A quote from the article “I feel like I represent Beyoncé,” said the Cincinnati zoo’s vice president of marketing. “People fly across the world to just catch a glimpse.”

The one interesting thing I found out about Fiona was that she was six weeks premature and she survived it. The normal weight for a full term hippo is 55 between 120 lbs. She only weighed 29 and birth. My question after reading this article is; What is the percentage of surviving being born 6 weeks premature for hippos? I would like to learn what Fiona would do everyday.

Some positive outcomes of smartphones are communication, Google, and time. We will need to have communtication and time of the world.

Some reasons for communication is when there is an emergency someone needs to call 911. But, without a phone they couldn’t do that. Google is for resources. We would need resources for school to look up research. Time is for planning. We would need to plan when we would do a certain task.

An example of communication is texting or calling. We would need to call and text for emergencies. We wouldn’t really need Google because we have old textbooks for resources. We do need time for planning important tasks. We need to know what time it is to know when to go to bed and wake up in the morning.

My opinion on the positive outcome of smartphonesis that I think we do need communtication and text, not so much of Google. We would need the time to plan our day. We need communication for emergencies and planning also.

Yes, I think I am addicted to my cell phone. My cell phone has been a very good resource for school but, my cell phone has also gotten me in trouble. One reason my phone is a good resource is when I need to know a question I don’t know I would go on Google and look up the question. I feel like cell phones should be for only communication only.

I feel like people should not spend so much time on their cell phones because it is just plain laziness. People don’t need to live with phones. They need other things such as water, food, shelter, etc.

Examples of being addicted to your phone are when teenagers sit around on social media. I think I am addicted to my phone because I am on my phone either playing games or on social media. People are addicted to social media. If social media wasn’t a thing, maybe people wouldn’t be so addicted to their phones.

I think people need to get off their phones half the time and do something productive rather than playing on their cell phones. We need to get rid of social media such as Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook.

I would rather never use social media or apps again because people don’t need them to live. But, you also don’t need TV shows or movies to live either.

The reason I chose this answer is because people don’t need social media or apps. Social media and apps are actually not doing anything but creating bad things. I believe TV shows and movies are only a few things when you need something to do.

An example of this is when older people were alive, they didn’t have social media or apps. They didn’t even have smartphones. I believe  we should not let social media and apps overpower TV and movies.

I’d rather not use social media or apps again because I want to have the time to be able to not get addicted to social media and apps on smartphones. I would want to have TV shows and movies for entertainment. I think we should not even have social media, but i still think we should have other apps.

I would rather be famous while I’m alive and forgotten when I die. I think this because I won’t be able to feel the fame when I’m dead, but I will when I’m alive.

The reason why I would rather be famous while I’m alive and be forgotten when I’m dead is I can enjoy my fame while I can. Then, when I die everyone can forget about me because I won’t feel the fame anymore.

An example of this is when I become famous I will be doing whatever I want and enjoying my fame and when I die, I will be forgotten.

I believe people should choose this choice because they can enjoy their life while they are alive and famous. Then, when they die they won’t feel anything and they won’t feel forgotten.

My opinion would be that I would rather be poor but help people. I would not become incredibly rich by hurting people because that is not right. I feel like people who become incredibly rich by hurting people are really selfish and don’t care about other people feelings. Also, I feel like people who are poor care about others before themselves.

I feel this way about the rich people because I think people should not be more happy about how much money they have because money cannot buy happiness. People should be happy about the life God gives them. God gave them a life to live and he thinks you should live that way.

I feel this way about the poor people because they are caring about others before themselves because they think others deserve a life more that person. If a poor someone came up to me because I had lost my money and gave me all the money they have, I would find my money and do anything I could to help them eat or find a home.

Some examples of becoming rich from hurting people would be when a person has done something wrong and they don’t want anyone to tell, some person will tell on them and become rich for “finding out” what happened. An example of someone who becomes poor by helping people is; you are helping another poor person and you help them find a place to stay, you can become poor for paying for that person and you and your family as well.

I rather become poor from helping people, because you don’t want to hurt anyone in any way. I think people beleive that money buys happiness. But, I would rather help people than have money to be happy.

I think privacy is dead and not dead because you may need privacy fpr certain things but, you may also be doing bad things that you shouldn’t do.

The reason for privacy is to keep secrets from others and not let others listen to your conversation. People should have privacy for very certain things and they may also be doing something bad.

An example for this is murder. Murder is kept private because the murderer doesn’t want to get in trouble. They are very secretive and private. When they are talking to others in privacy, it isn’t really disturbing privacy because they are doing something bad and someone needs to know.

I think privacy is dead in some ways. Privacy is important for some people. Some people just don’t care.

I believe people are more respectful in-person because they feel more secure about what they say in-person.

The reason people are more respectful in person is because they don’t wanna get hurt for hurting others feelings. They wanna act respectful in-person because online they wanna be touched.

An example of this is when someone is texting another person online and they feel safe and they feel like they should say mean things. But, in-person they dont wanna hurt someones feelings and they dont wanna get hurt either.

I think people should be more respectful online because no matter what you shouldnt hurt someone because of how they look or feel. People should be respectful in-person and online. You should not be judgemental online or in-person.

I think yes, human rights for a single person can be violated for a larger group’s safety. For example, the shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada was a large group.

The reason I say yes is because humans aren’t responsible for someone else’s actions. That persons actions are upon them and they should control and think about what they are doing to others and the environment. The shooting  in Nevada was no ones fault but the shooters. That man thought he needed to shoot down a concert, but this man was not happy. He had hurt hundreds of people.

Some examples of a single person being violated for a larger groups safety are; the shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. This shooting was at a Jason Aldean concert. Also, another big example is 9/11, 9/11 was a terrorist attack in 2001. In 9/11, many people were killed. Terrorism is a scary thing and many humans are scared of it today.

I think human rights for a single person can be violated for a larger group’s safety. I don’t like many violations of the human rights.
