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.

  1. You did a really good job at expressing your opinion in this article. I think that this is not possible but it would be really cool. If I was you I would add more textural evidence to your analysis. How do you feel on the topic of cross breeding animals? Would you own one of these animals?

    1. Thanks for the comments and I will try to use more textual evidence. I think that this could be possible in a way but who knows. I would like to own a Cab-bit, like you said it would be really cool.

  3. This would be really cool! If they could actually do it. I love the way you put your opinion in there.Add more evidence though.
