2. The topic of the review is about the well known movie, Twilight.

3.

    -On the first review the critic praises the movie, she explains how the director, Catherine Hardwicke, did a wonderful job portraying the book. The critic thinks that the director did a good job with the casting and the movie and the book were both equally satisfying. 

   - On the second review the critic thinks the romantic movie has the same story as every other love movie. The think the casting choice was very bad,especially the main lead ,Kirsten Stewart 

(Bella) who's acting skill is very plain and she only has 2 facial expressions the whole movie. They compare the movie to a bad tv soap opera.

 

4. The fact on the first article is that the movie was Filmed in Portland, Oregon. A opinion is the movie is Filmed in Portland, Oregon, the movie features stunning views and beautiful landscapes.

    The fact on the second article is the movie stunned box office analyst by having a gigantic opening week and a opinion is that the movie was so bad the it gave him brain damage.

5. I do agrees with what both reviewers think. They both give good information to back up there opinion , but I agree most with the 1st review , I read and watch the movie and I think that the movie portrayed the book very well and that the casting was good 

blog 7 (editorial)

1. The topic of the cartoon / written editorial is on celebrities nudes being hacked.
2. The  cartoon editorial represent the topic by showcasing a naked man and a woman staring in a confused holding the apple logo . In the written editorial the author explains how wrong it is for the people to hack the celebrities phone and invade their privacy.
3. They are alike becuase they both give out the same message, they are diffrent because in the written editorial they give us more infrontion about what they think about the celebrity cellphone hack.
4.I think the written editorias is more effective beacuse it gives us more information about the topic then the cartoon  editorial.
5.The benefit of doing a cartoon editorial is its more entertains and the benefit of the written editorial is you get more information. The drawback of a cartoon editorial is you might not understand what the picture represents and the drawback of a written editorial it might be  boring  and can lose interest in the editorial .
