"[|Open Letter: Kansas] Journal 5- There are a lot of examples of satire in the story and the letter.

[|Electronic Cigarettes:] Journal 4- I agree that e-cigs will become addictive, but I also think that they are better than real cigarettes. I agree that e-cigs will become used "addictively" instead of cigarettes. Some people may think that e-cigs are better for them, and in some cases they are. Although e-cigs still have nicotine in them, so they are still becoming addicted to that drug. I think the FDA should regulate e-cigs because they are still quote on quote dangerous for you. I see seventh graders with e-cigs, its ridiculous. If the FDA doesn't regulate the use of e-cigs then little five or six year olds will think it's okay to smoke because "it's not dangerous". Also they come in different flavors, so it would grab the attention of younger kids.

The Goodman of Paris: Journal 3- The wife of bath and the goodman of Paris is similar because the women are both known as their husband, or brothers titles. ('Wife' of bath)

[|"Google Glass & Now: Utopia or Dystopia"] Journal 2- I don't think google glass is next. To be honest, it's kind of stupid. In the article it says that Google Glass will give us the ability to turn technology into "real life". I think that if people had the ability to do so, then there will be a lot more people in mental institutions. We already have people believing that they are something else, they do not need to turn that into a reality. With the Google Glass, they will think that they are in a video game, or something else, and then they end up hurting someone, they'll blame it on the google glass. So to answer your question, No, the Google Glass will not be the next big thing.

"In Toronto, the WiFi may come with a side of snooping" Journal 1-I don't think it's alright to snoop on your paying customers, that's a violation of privacy. I don't think that restaurants or any stores at that should be allowed to track your movements so they know where you go and then know where to put ads up for their restaurants. It 's a clever idea, but it's an invasion of privacy.they should find some other way to find this information, or just take a chance and place ads where they think there customers may shop, or go.
