This article is about how Netflix increased four million users in the last three months of 2013. The users that joined in the United States only were 2.3 Million and international 1.6 Million users. They now have 44 million users on Netflix. It also states that Netflix has won 80 major awards and that it wants to gain four million more users.

This article connects with a college class dealing with "business" that I had last year in 10th grade. In that class we talked about how business gain money and how they do all that to gain it. While reading this article I thought of that class and imagined how Netflix kind of gained more people and earn more money. I feel pretty amazed by what I read from this article because 44 million users is a lot of people. Its pretty great because Netflix has a lot of movies and its a really cool app to watch movies.

What is the author’s point of view, and how does it impact the overall effect of the text? The author's point of view is just that they want to inform the readers about how many users they have now and that they plan to gain more. This impacts the overall effect of the article because of the way they said "four million new users in the last three months of 2013 to give it 44 million international viewers" (Netflix users rise...44 million), in bold letters at the very beginning of the passage.

This article is about on whether "Cab-bits" exist or not. The Arthur of the article doesn't really say they aren't possible but he also doesn't say they are possible. McCarthy explains about the Hybrid animals and there DNA and chromosomes. They also pasted an email from someone that argues that "Cab-bits" exist and that he/she takes care of one.

This article connects with my biology class I took in 10th grade. This article explains how a cat and a buck rabbit cant make a cab-bit because of their different number of chromosomes. McCarthy says that their genetics or DNA are so different they cant Hybrid.

When I read this article I couldn't believe that these animals exist. I looked up pictures and I thought to myself that they were fake. I really don't know if they are real or not because when it started talking about the biology stuff we learned it just left me confused. We never know they might exist and I'll believe it once I see a "Cab-bit"

What is the central idea of the passage and how is it developed and refined throughout the selection? The central idea of the passage is to talk about whether or not it's possible that "Cab-bits" exist and explain reasons why people think it's not possible and share a email of someone who believes they are real. These things are developed and refined throughout the passage by saying, "quoted the following from an email she received from a cabbit proponent:" and then pasting the email. Also later in the selection they have in bold, "Why many think cabbits are impossible" and under that the Arthur has four reasons why people think "Cab-bits" are impossible.
