Blog 6

I went to the website that listed on the blog 6 assignment, and it gave me schedule and steps what am I supposed to do. It kind of confused me a little bit, so I'll just do what I planned to do.
I did a lot of research for my topic (Twins and The Wrinkles of Aging) and I also read a lot of articles. The only problem is, based from my research the articles are pretty much the same and don't give out too many informations. So, I still have a lot of things to do since I have to hand in the first draft on Monday. I also interested in the option number 4, to make my own website which I've done this before for my computer class. I probably would do that instead of writing an article for wikipedia. Basically, I'm still working on my paper and hopefully I finish everything on time.

Long Bibliography (Blog 5)

The only reason why I chose Twins and The Wrinkles of Aging is because of the article in Allure magazine. It really took my interest when I was reading it and it makes me want to write about it. So the first source that I got is from Allure magazine, “Living Young” by Joan Kron. In this article I found a lot of information about what keeps a woman from looking young and the study of identical twins. Also from this article, it gives me the causes of wrinkles and it shows pictures of twins and it compares of how one twin looks younger or older than the others.

The other article that I found was from the New York Times by Tara Parker – Pope. This article is pretty much the same with the Allure magazine article, but in this article is more like what we should stop to do so we don’t get wrinkles and look older in our age.

And also the similar article from ABC news.

The other article that I found was the ways to reduce wrinkles. In this article, there’s a list of things that we could do to prevent wrinkles and how to look younger.

and

Those articles that I found will be very useful for me to write the article for my english project.

Venue (blog 4)

I chose an article from the internet as my target publication. This New York Times aricle was written by Tara Parker - Pope. In this article, I noticed that she put a lot of questions and then she asnwered those questions with fact the she found. She also wrote the causes that make twins different, like one of the twin look older than the other twin even tough they're in the same age. She also put the age of the twins and things that you should or should not do when you're in that age. Well, basically the author wrote about the reasons why these twins look younger than the other twins.

Topic

I think my topic will be about twins and the wrinkles of aging. I was reading an article about this the other day on a magazine, and I think it will be interesting if I write an article about this. Even tough they already have an article about wrinkle in wikipedia, but my article will be focus on the new study about wrinkles based on twins. I think the audience will be young adults and probably this article will attrack twins too. In order for me to do this article, I have to look read the related articles, find out the causes and I have to reas more health magazine, and articles from the internet.

My interest

My interest? Mmmm.. it will be traveling. I love traveling, I love to explore something new from a lot of coutries. Well, I don't have enough money right now to go around the world, but one day when I have money I'll go on a cruise and start traveling. My first stop would be my country, Indonesia. Even though I was born there, but I never go to all of the beautiful islands in there. After that I would love to go to the Caribbean, I love the sun and I love the beaches, it feels so relaxing. And probably after I would go to the Caribbean and then I would love to explore Europe.
