Website Purposes

(1) Inform - http://edition.cnn.com/ is a renowned website that many people go to in order to read newspaper articles about international and domestic news. The readers find this site in order to get information about  world-wide issues that are occurring currently. Most articles give clear cut facts about a certain subject and inform the reader from a neutral stance. There are opinion-editorial sections that show which stance the writer is on but usually people read factual news articles.

(2.) Entertain - https://www.youtube.com/ is a website where people upload all kinds of videos and music to share with others. It is one of the most entertaining websites I know because you can literally find any kind of video from youtube. For example, all kinds of music videos and movies are all available on youtube. Also anybody can upload any video they want to share so I think it is really interesting and a good way to show one's talent. I usually enjoy watching and subscribing videos made by Jenna Marbles or Zack King. 

(3.) Persuade - http://www.usatoday.com/opinion/ is a website where writers and editors express their opinions about political and social issues. This website is a 'persuading' essay because the topics of the articles are very controversial. In this way the writer writes the editorials in a way to persuade and convince the reader that his or her stance is correct. USA Today has the most controversial topics because the issues in the United States are expressed with a more clear and strong way.

(4.) Express - http://www.stevenaitchison.co.uk/blog/ is Steven Aitchison's blog on health, finances, relationships, writing, and generally keeping a positive perspective on life. This website is an 'expressing' one because the owner of the blog uses it to express and show whatever he wants to. The various topics he writes about are very interesting and he never hesitates to write about any topic. I think these personal blogs are all websites that have the purpose to express. I have a blog myself and I also use it to express my feelings and share my pictures.

(5.) Evaluate - http://www.rottentomatoes.com/critics/latest_reviews is a website that is used as a purpose to share film reviews and comments on the latest TV shows, etc. There are thousands of viewers that evaluate the latest movies or shows they watched and they share their personal opinions and critical thoughts on the site. Therefore many viewers of the website look at these reviews and decide whether to watch a certain movie or not. Personally, I read some evaluations on the movie Fast and Furious 7 and most of them were very positive. There were a few critics about the movie but most said it was a great movie. So I watched it this weekend and it was a very satisfying movie for me!
