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.

  1. That is very amazing. I never knew Netflix was that big. Do you have a Netflix account? You did a great job at connecting this to one of your pass classes. You could organize it better so it is easier to read but overall you did well.

  2. This is a great post. I love the connection with the other classes you've taken. Maybe if you made it a little more organized it would be a little easier to read. I didn't even think that netflix was so big.
