  • previous knowledge

    What I know from Europe is that France is famous for Belgium waffles. Also, French people that speak English have funny English accents. I also know that Mr. Fleming went to Norway and lived there while he went to college.

  • Author's meaning and purpose

    I predicted that the meaning of this was because they wanted a new leader for there country, somebody who could lift them up from where chavez left them, and make them a better society and a better country. I predicted that the purpose for this was to keep it in order, there are lots of people that want to say things about the new pope, being good or bad, and want the world to see it.
  • Main Idea one

    Main Idea one

    “the new pope has clashed with the Argentine government over his opposition to gay marriage and free distribution of contraceptives.”

  • My prediction for 1

    I think that the popes decision on gay marriage and free distribution is a big concern for the people of Rome and that decision should be a/is a concern to the people. My prediction is that the pope is going to make the right decision and prove himself the next good leader of Rome.
  • Main idea two

    Main idea two

    A vatican spokes person said that francis will be a reformer, and will bring the church "back to basics."

  • My prediction for 2

    I predicted that a couple years from now Rome will be okay and that the pope will represent them well.

  • Main idea three

    “Obama offered his prayers and "warm wishes" Wednesday to newly elected Pope Francis. Obama called him "a champ of the poor and the most vulnerable among us," he also said his election as "the first pope from the Americas spoke to the strength and mental vigor of that region."

  • My prediction for 3

    I predict that Obama will not dislike the new pope as the saying says "do not judge a book by its cover." I think that obama will see the pope as a good person and they will get along with each other.

  • Accuracy of predictions

    My predictions were very accurate because when I would refresh the page the comments that the people put would go with what I wrote. My predictions were also accurate because some people stated that they think he is going to be a fine pope and that is what I stated/predicted.
