the curious case of the lusty wasps

The organization of this article is general-to-specific order. Because, it gives specific information of how wasps start mating. The tone of this article is informative cause it lets you know the process of how everything starts off and how it ends.  The author that wrote this seems very intrigued. They explain it with every detail as if they really were wanting to know or explain. The main idea of this article is to inform the reader about how wasps find their mate and how they need to evolve new pheromones. Also, how they keep reproducing new species of wasps if they mate with a didn't kind of wasps so that don't become extinct. "Choosing mates by detecting and responding to the sex pheromones of only their own species." "New pheromones, the female insects would need some preexisting adaptation that would cause them to prefer the new chemical blend." "Mixture starts off as a neutral genetic among an early lineage." This article was very interesting to me, I think its very outstanding to know how wasps reproduce and how that find their mates. I believe that this can mean a lot to other people especially if they really are into wasps or they want to know more about them.

Can TV be your bestfriend?

In this article it talks about how some people are lonely and have no social life so they turn to the television which makes them feel as if they did have a social life. The tone of this article is intrigued, the scientists feels surprised on how TV can have an effect on peoples social life. The organization of this article starts off informing you about how people use TV, and how its true that it does bring their self esteem. The main idea of this article is to inform people and describe how TV can help people and bring up their confidence, and how TV helps them feel as if they are having a conversation one on one with a person. It tells you how this makes people feel that they do have a social life. "People are more likely to watch favorite TV shows when they're lonely, and feel less lonely during the show." " A study found that people in need of social acceptance train themselves to read more queues from facial expressions." To me this is a very interesting subject how people learn to feel less lonely by watching television.  I believe that if people do feel lonely then this would be a good way to feel better. I also believe that a person shouldn't always watch as much TV just to make themselves feel better about themselves.
