Title: Will Steven Jobs's final venetta haunt Google?

Author: Michael Liedtke
Source:  Te Miami Herald
The topic of the article is stealing  
The main idea of the article is: The main idea of the article is that one of Steve Job's creations, the Iphone has been stolen by Google and changed it into the Android, and the effect of it.
This main Idea is stated.
The author’s purpose for writing this article is to inform readers that before Steve's death he wanted to do an attack against Google for stealing the Iphone idea.
The author’s perspective in this article is objective/subjective (biased) because: This article is unbiased because it talks about how Steve Job was at his most anger when his I phone was stolen, but also states that when he was young one of his products, was based on technology by others.
The pattern of organization of the article is cause and effect because it's organizing that because Google stole the Iphone idea, Steve was doing an attack on Google.
The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is that the author might want to let the reader know how the chain of events happen in the last few years.
The text features included in the article are: The subtitle under the title. This helps by letting the reader know the overall question of the story, an illustration helps by giving the reader a picture of Steve Jobs and one of his products.
, and the source in which this article was published helps by 
 letting the reader know where there might be more information on this topic.
This article is about (a summary in your own words) how when Google stole one of Steve Job's idea, he was so infuriated that he was going to do anything for them to give it back
and the money they gained from the product, so he gave an attack to Google and some of his followers made protests.
 The significance (importance) of this article is so people know that some products from Google, like the Android, are actually stolen from Apple. 
What I learned from this article is to always look on the internet about the product and see if the company made it or not or maybe to see the original company and buy it from there. 
What I liked about this article was that it gave unbiased information and I was able to know something more.
What I did not like about it  was that Google stole a product from Apple changed the name and told it was theirs.
Who should read this article and why: I think people who bought the Android should read this article, so they understand what's really going on.
This article reminds me of (text-to-self) how sometimes people steal your stuff or maybe projects or homework and say it's theirs so they get the credit for doing nothing.
(text-to-text) I don't know any other books with this topic.
(text-to-world) I would relate this to real life because there are companies who sometimes steal other companies' ideas and make them their own.
