summarize an article

Memoli, M. A. (2011, April 27). White House releases long-form Obama birth certificate. In Politics
            now. Retrieved April 27, 2011, from http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-obama-birth-              certificate-20110427,0,2615804.story.

White House has released President Obama's birth certificate. They did this because President Obama's citizenship has been doubted since he becomes the president of the USA. Administration officials said that this matter becomes a distraction that can be harmful for country (par4). Based in this article President Obama asked personally to Hawaii Department of Health to send his birth certificate (par6). Basically releasing the birth certificate is a privacy but they did this to respond a huge requests about Obama's status.

Music : Our favorite therapy

Felton, N. (2011, April 19). Music: our favorite therapy. Dailytitan, 89(39), p. 4.

In this article Felton says that music can improve our health. According to Vera Brandes, music can make body and mind relax and then can lower the heart rate (par 10). Felton also claims that music whatever the genres are, can make people become happy and happiness is good for the body. In this article she uses reason appealing because she gave us some reports about how music can improves health.

However, there are some arguments from her that makes me think. She calims that music whatever the genres are, could make us relax. I do not agree with this statement because for me rock music can gives me headache instead of peace. I think is not always true to say that music can always makes us relax.
In the paragraph 23 she also mentions that "A life without music is like a life without soul and passion." (par23). I also do not agree with this statement, there are so many people that do not like music but they still have passion and soul.
I think this article doesnt have a strong argument how music can be a good therapy for health, because she just mentions one reason, music can lower a heart rate.

Research paper

My topic on research paper this time is about humorous advertisement. Basically I very like about television and advertisement things. Therefore for my reseacrh paper I choose about humorous advertisement. In this reseacrh I will try to find out how humorous advertisement could be more effective than serious does. Why many companies more like to use humor for their advertisement. I know little bit about this matter before. In Indonesia most of advertisers use humorous advertisement for their product because they think usually humorous advertisment is more effective than serious does. I really want to know the culture in the USA. Do they think like Indonesian advertisers? Is humorous advertisement more effective in here? I will know latter..

Animal could talk??

Wow that would be amazing if every animal could talk!! I couldnt imagine if every animal will talk, maybe it will be so noisy because every time I see a cartoon movie that the animal could talk then the animal will talk a lot. Usually they also always complaining about human behavior towards them. How human careless about animal and so on.. However, I will be so glad if my dog could talk. So, I could know what my dog wants. I could tell him about my day and maybe he could gives me an advice if I have a problem. But it is impossible because animal cannot talk and they cannot think..

Advice

Talk about advice. I received a lot of advices when i still in university in Indonesia. I used to have a friend that always gave me advices every times. Sometimes, I also gave her advices if I knew the problem and the best solutions for that. Sometimes, her advices worked for me and sometimes I just followed my heart to solve my problems. However, I always appreciated what she have done for me..
I knew she cares of me that is why she gave me a lot of advices. Miss her so much
