3 BIG DETAILS

1. Matt’s phone was stolen (at a bar in Ney York) and his new phone showed pictures of a guy in China next to an orange tree. Soon everyone in China was looking for him.

2. The guy was soon recognized by a family member and invited Matt (though the internet) to come visit him in China.

3. Matt went to China to visit the guy who was soon nicknamed Brother Orange because all the selfies he took of himself were next to and orange tree and Matt realized he was famous in China.

THE 5 W’S

Who? A reporter named Matt and Brother Orange.

What? Matt's stolen phone ends up in China and he goes there to meet the guy who has it.

When? Early March 2015

Where? China

Why? His stolen phone ends up in China.

MY OPINION

I think this is funny because a person became good friends with a person he didn’t know just because that person ended up with his stolen iPhone. I also think this is crazy how most of China was looking for this person who had Matt's phone and the story made the news.

OTHERS OPINION

Other people think Matt would be mad that his phone was stolen and not take a trip to China because some person he barley knew asked him to. They might also think he couldn't be friends with him (brother orange) because they didn't speak the same language.
