In “The Star-nosed Mole,” author Sean Zera writes an interesting article about the Star-nosed Mole. The purpose of his article is to inform readers of many intriguing facts about the star-nosed mole. Some questions Zera answers in his article are what do they look like, where do they live, what do they eat, and even how do they communicate with each other. His article is great because it explains almost everything about the star-nosed mole. Another thing that Zera does to strengthen his article is that he has categories that will ask a common question, and then within that category he will answer that question and provide an abundance of facts that will help support his answer. The only two things that weaken his article are the lack of photos and a comparison to regular moles. These moles are very distinctive and easy to identify by their noses. It has one of the most impressive noses in the animal kingdom, making this strange creature a deadly hunter. Around their noses, they have twenty-two pink fleshy appendages that serve as their tactile organ. External tentacles probe for a potential meal, then internal sensors decide whether the prey is edible. They are covered in thick, blackish-brown, water-repellent fur, and have large, scaly legs and a long, thick tail. This animal is by far one of the most interesting animals in the world, although it looks like a cross between a rat and an octopus. The way he behaves and uses his star nose is fascinating and makes him quite unique from the others. Throughout the article on Zera, it only shows two small images. These two photos don't really show the star mole in its entirety. Zera must show many photos of the star-nosed mole. It should also show maps and graphs to accompany some of the answers to the questions. One place he should place a card is where he answers the question of where do they live. Although it explains it in the paragraph, it should also provide a picture of a map showing where the star-nosed mole lives. Another thing Zera could do to strengthen his article would be to add a comparison to a regular mole. The star-nosed mole is very different from a regular mole and a comparison would go a long way to strengthening his article. Overall, Zera's strengths outweigh its weaknesses and make the article very interesting. His article explains almost everything about the star-nosed mole and he answers many questions readers might have and provides an abundance of facts that help support his answer. To improve his article, he should add more photos and maps, as well as a comparison with a regular mole. His article is very factual and will most likely answer all your questions about the star nose.
