The discovery of a wild coyote in late 1997 in the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle should come as a wake-up call. The United States has a serious coyote problem! From their traditional enclaves in the western desert, these opportunistic canines have now invaded the entire continental United States. They have taken over parks, farms, vacant lots, and now perhaps the downtown areas of major cities. Homeowners report losing cats and dogs to the beasts, and young children are under attack. Enough is enough. Since humans are the only natural enemy of coyotes, we demand that state and federal agencies institute coyote trapping programs. That is the only way to decrease the number of coyotes to a manageable level. WHAT IS THE AUTHOR'S POINT OF VIEW?

• The author loves coyotes and thinks everyone should adopt one.

• The author feels coyotes are dangerous

• The author feels that humans are the problem

• The author is neutral

What is the author's point of view on the iPhone 7?

If you want a small Apple phone you'd be better off opting for the iPhone SE. Alternatively check out our iPhone 7 Plus review. Yes that phone is even more expensive, but it lasts a lot longer and has an even better camera that offers proper zoom. There is one other option to consider too if you're hooked on Apple. The iPhone 6S Plus remains a great phone, has strong battery life and costs exactly the same as the iPhone 7.

 

• He thinks the iPhone 7 is the best invention yet.

• He thinks the iPhone 7 is the worst thing to happen to technology.

• He thinks that iPhone SE, 7, and/or 7 Plus is better and costs the same.

• He doesn't care about the iPhone 7.
