1. select an article from my site- 17-Foot burmese python caught in the everglades.
2. comment on the article: minimum length (30 words)
3. Who is the author of the article/source and date of the article- It was published August 14, 2012. The author is Associated press.
4. Include a thesis statement you could use the material from the article to either prove
or disprove a point. I think it is bad to kill animals but in a way it is good to kill them kinds of snakes because if you don’t kill them they will probably kill you.
5. select 3 words from the article you do not know the meaning to: (if you select one I
believe you know–no credit)
write a definition for each
select TWO of the 3 words and write it in a sentence.- 1. Pervasive- spreading widely throughout the area or group. 2. Invasive- trending to spread prolifically and undesirably or harmfully. 3. Euthanized- to death humanely.
The snakes are pervasive throughout the world.
People take their dogs to the pound to be euthanized when something is wrong with them.
6. state in a paragraph format at least 3 things you learned from the article- I have learned where they found the 17 foot long burmese python. If i seen that snake i would probably be really scared because I don’t like snakes at all i think they are really nasty. And another thing i have learned that them kinds of snakes can eat anything they want without any trouble. I also learned there is like 10,000 of them python snakes that live in the everglades and there could be more of them. I learned that the snake was a girl and when they went to kill her she had 87 eggs in her. I have also learned how they kill their prey is they suffocate it and then they will eat it.

I think it is crazy that there was a snake that big! I wonder how they caught the python? It’s also crazy that there is probably more of them out there.
1. pervasive- (esp. of an unwelcome influence or physical effect) spreading widely throughout an area or a group of people
2. euthanized- put (a living being, esp. a dog or cat) to death humanely.
3. eradicate- destroy completely; put an end to.
1. Bin Laden was euthanized so he if no longer living anymore.
2. I will eradicate ants, I hate them.
Three things I have learned in this article is that Hurricane Andrew hit in Florida in 1992. It then released around 10 thousand pythons. Another thing is that that 17 foot long python would eat anything it wanted too, like deer or alligator. Lastly is that the python they caught was pregnant with 87 eggs, that is record breaking!
