     Surprise: The surprise this week was during P.E. when I came back from the office with a bandage, I saw everyone sitting down on the blacktop. It was surprising because I was expecting us to do something else. I ca now learn from this surprise is that always expect anything from P.E.

     Summary: The article I am reading right now is about why mosquitoes find some people more yummier then other people. They do this because of microbes living on skin. This can affect how many mosquitoes like you.

• How much did you know about the topic before you read the article? What do you now know about the topic that you did not know before?

     I knew about mosquitoes but I never knew that they target specific people. And I never knew that it depends on our DNA. Finally I never knew that they can do this type of stuff.

     

• Why did you choose this article?

     I chose this because I thought it looked very interesting when it said: Do mosquitoes love you? Blame your parents. And I thought the title was funny. Finally I thought it as something that is important for mankind.

     

• How does the information provided in this article affect the future?

     This can affect the future by if someone wanted to know why he was always getting bit by mosquitoes while his friends rarely get bitten, he can just look on this. Also this can affect the future by if someone wants to do a school report about why mosquitoes bit certain people, they can just look here. So that is all the reasons how this info can affect the future.

     

• One question you have after reading the article. How would you go about answering that question.

     Why do they put their hands in the Y tube thing? They do that because they are testing which one the mosquitoes like most. And there is a wire place that keeps the mosquitoes form touching the volunteer's skin.
