After spending some time reading today reflect! How is the way you read an informational book similar to the way you read an informational article, like NewsELA? How is it different.

# data[].attributes.body
It is similar because they are both informational and tell the information on the certain topic your read. Also they both include the authors opinion.
It is different because  in books there are more pictures in them. Also in books they have much more detail because they have more room to write out things unlike and article when they are limited and short(er). Also at the beginning of the book they give a summary of what the book will be telling unlike an article who states the main idea with detail after.

-there are headline pages in the book for each section, but only the title on NewsELA.

Google has made a new driver less car and allowed a blind man to drive around in Austin, Texas.

One of the main ideas was testing. They took six month of testing before offering it to Mahan. The car has driven more than 2 million miles. And Mahan says it "drives like a very good driver."

Another main idea was that Mahan had felt like he "gained independence." He said that it was safe. And it gives the opportunities to people with disabilities to finally travel alone without guidance.

The last main idea was that the technology was expanding for future upgrades. They are hoping for car communication so the cars can directly tell each other information. The cars will also know if traffic is in their route to know if to avoid it. And the car has a full 360 view to acknowledge its surroundings.
