Summary: Violet Brown is now the world's oldest person. Emma Morano, the previous oldest person in the world. died at age 117 recently. Brown is also 117 and was born in 1900. She lives in Jamaica. She lived there 67 years before the country was started. She tells the news, "Really and truly, when people ask what me eat and drink to live so long, I say to them that I eat everything, except pork and chicken, and I don't drink rum and them things."
Analysis: This was written today, Monday, April 17, by CNN, a reliable and trustworthy news station. To me, this is really interesting. She was able to live to see electricity and all types of new technological advances diffuse throughout the world. This is also really cool, but like I wouldn't want to live for that long because to me honest, I'm tired of living.
Synthesis: This connects to Miss Jane Putman, a woman who lived for 100 years. It was a movie that we watched in acting class, and it was cool and old, just like Violet Brown is!
