the biggest challenge of my studying!

The biggest challenge for me about my research is even though there are tons of information in interent, sometimes they are not accurate or what they are talking about are slightly different with what i am looking for but titles are related. So I guess I need to develop discernment to determine what information I need to wrtie an accurate, trustworthy paper.

And some of them are really old like published in 1960s. So use those articles as sources is one more thing i should avoid and be careful. Because as time pass by, new researches and studyies add in history of animal communication.  

 I'm wating for the book i ordered, and it sould be here in few days. So im excited about that. :)

Roxy, the neighbor cat

Even though i have a cat allergy i pleasurely invited her to my house and we hung out for a while.

  She looked kind of bored so i showed her a cat entertainment video from youtube.

the video was filmed by one of youtubers who loves animals, (it was like a home video). Birds  

I turned this video and her ears got pointy and searched for where the sounds come from.

After she found out that it was from the TV, (i moved a chair for her, so she can see them closely) her eyes were totally focused on tv screen and even tried to snatch the birds.

Could Roxy understand birds' twittering? :)

Or can't but just listen thier twittering as we do?

Animal Talk: Breaking the Codes of Animal Language

Excerpt from Article: TIM FRIEND

Can different bird species understand each other? Can a dog understand a monkey? Do animals lie to each other? Why do animals use such strange sounds and flashy displays to get each other's attention? The senior science writer at USA Today answers these and other questions as he explores how and why animals communicate with each other…

the Order has been completed! all i need to do is waiting 'till friday!
I would love to write my own review after i finish this book :) 

talking cats from youtube

I wonder what they are saying to each other.. i doubt that they are just making a sound

Five thought leaders

Their work, mostly articles and books will help me to write a paper about understanding animal’s language. And by their credibility and fame in their field, it will affect my paper’s credibility in a good way.

Lydia Hiby: she is the author of Conversations with Animals which I read with great impression. She basically speaks with animal through telepathy. Her client list numbers over 60,000 over 20 years. She casted so many animal related show, and proved her ability to speak with animals around the world, including my country, Korea.

Penny Patterson, Ph.D. : Dr. Penny Patterson received her Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Stanford University. she taught Coco the gorilla, American sign language. By her work and study, Coco became the most famous exists gorilla in the world as talking gorilla.

Stephen Hart: he writes and edits, specializing in science and medicine. He worked as a freelance writer and editor, covering basic sciences, health and technology, biomedicine. And he is also the creator of website, the Animal Communication Project and author of the book The Language of Animals—about the science of animal communication.

George Johnson : he is the author of the article Is It Really Language? New York Times 1995 and he write articles for National Geographic, Slate, Scientific American, Time, Wired, and The Atlantic.

Graham Williamson: he is an independent Consultant Speech Therapist working in North East England. He wrote article Communication in website Speech Therapy Information and Resource. In that article he defined the word communication, and compare human or non-human being’s communication.

Capstone: Communication with animal

What's your subject?  Can you frame your subject in the format suggested by Craft of Research?
I would like to study communication between and men vs. animals, because I want to find out how animals communicate and how they express themselves in order to understand better in communication with two different kinds of living thing. And by presentation about what I studied, let people know how to have a good chemistry with their pets.

Who knows a lot about your topic?  Who are you going to interview about this?

There are professional animal communicators out there, but not in Cincinnati. I have read Communication with Animal written by Lydia Hybi. So, I would especially like to interview with her by email because I was pretty impressed reading that book. It was like reading about the something I never experienced, even never thought of.

You've just joined a peer group.  What is your role in helping this peer group work effectively?

My role is asking questions about their topic so they can wide their eyes in perspective of readers.

Have you thought of a product?  What do you imagine Presentation Night will look like for you?

WELL! I’m kind of worried about that. But first of all, I am really good power point maker. It’s not because of English is my second language so I work more in visible, but I just want my power point look good and let audiences know what I made, what I worked, what I am doing in front of them. And I love to see them impressed by that. But I get nervous a lot and easily. People might see me shaking both my voice and whole body… 

What else do you want to say about the class so far?

So far so good, I would like to learn how to keep fresh up in researching and writing papers.
