I learend about intext citation. Like if I use a web-site which I found on the internet, I should describe the what information the web-site give to me. Also, I should cite in APA style in my text. I need author's name, publish data, or if in a book, I need a page number, I should give these information behind the web-site name.
About exploratory eassy, because this is a report, so I need to use third person to write my report. It will more objective and professional if I use third person. I should not put my opinion or thinking into my research. Sharry and Mika help me to work on my work citation and they help me to understand why I need to use third person.

Factors of jeans
In my topic, my thesis is fashion which includes history, designer, customer, and other factors. I think I find factors which I think are really important for my research. In my recently work, I focus on the fashion brands’ history. http://www.levistrauss.com/Heritage/History.aspx, this is the Levis official site which could give much information about how Levis invented the first jeans in the world and how Levis, this company become to a famous popular clothing brand.
Through this brand’s history, I am trying to analyze the factors which have significant influent on the fashion. In 1873, the first blue jean was made by using denim which fabric’s firmness is better than the general cotton fabric. During 1870 to 1890, there was Califomia Gold Rush time, a lot of people went to Califomia and looked for their fortunes. However, their pants were unable to suffer from the poor conditions when they were working in the diggings. The miners needed pants which not only could protect their body from being harm, but also needed pants with better durable. The jeans could meet their demand. Miners were more willing to wear jeans because jeans could help them working in the mine. Therefore, people accepted jeans because jeans have better quality, like Levis ad “quality never goes out of style”. We can see that quality is prerequisite to decide whether be accept by people. Therefore, quality is an important factor to which influent fashion and fashion brands. Also I think opportunity is another factor which can influence fashion. Jeans were made at the Califomia Gold Rush, and at that time, there is no TV, and Internet, so people bought jeans because others gave positive comments. If there was no Califomia Gold Rush, people did not have much need of jeans, I do not think jeans could be popular so fast and could spread out around the America.

to be continue
In my topic, I will talk about the fashion, what the fashion is, how the fashion developed in the past years, and how fashion effects people's behavior. Therefore, these three main points would be my thesis statement. I think my audience will be the people who study for anthropology, or humanity, phycology and closing design and marketing. I hope my wok will be helpful for the people who study for these majors. I will introduce the definiton about the fashion, so that will be helpful to the students who work on closing design. Also being fashion is a kind of human's behavior, so that students who like phycology will interesting in this topic. Marketing students will interesting about how to develope their market, and also I will mention about it. My purpose is divide in three subpoints. The first is to introduce three fashion brands, which I like them most. Also they are very popular in the world. Second, I want to know their history, how they developed. Third, I want to analyze people's behavior and their minds. Why they want to buy the products of these brands. What the charateristics in these brands. To figure out these problems is my purpose.
My working research question is whether fashion is the result of closing industory or is the result of meeting people's demand. I mean who decide what fashion is, people make it, or brands make it.
http://www.levistrauss.com/Heritage/History.aspx. There is one source I found in the internet. There is a offical web-site for Levis. This web-site including Levi's history and how this company develope its market and also introduce Levis Jeans in specific charatersitcs. http://french-fashion-designers.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_history_of_louis_vuitton. There is a source about Lv's history. This web-site including a brife history information. According to the video we studied in the class. The first Levis offical web-site does not have author's name, however, I think it is offical web-site so that I think the information is reliable. Also the information is recently update. One problem is this the offical web-site, so I think the information lack of objective. However, the information about their charateristic is value to my further working. The web-site about Lv's history, the author is

Keywords
I have learned from the article “what is keyword”. “Keywords are the term that you enter into the search field of an online library catalog, database, electronic index, or Web search site.” In other words, it will help you to look for the information what you need. In my further study, I would use keywords, like the author’s name, title of the article or the subjects on the online library catalogs, databases, and electronic indexes. Using keywords to search will much then you look for in the index, and it will save me much time. I learned that when you search subjects, you will conduct “free text”, and all the records which include the keywords will show up. It is the same function to search web-sites. What I need to do is just type the keywords. However, if the information is too much, we need to add “descriptors” to refine our resources. Using keywords will help me to directly meet my demand, and my work will improve and efficiency.
In my topic, I will work on fashion brands. The first thing I want to know is what fashion is. I want to know the definition about fashion. Therefore my first keyword is fashion. Second, I want to introduce these brands history, also knowing their history will help me to study their development. My second keyword is history. Third, I want to understand why people choose these brands, what the characteristics attract people to buy them. My third keyword is characteristic.
I used Google to look for fashion’s definition. I typed “fashion definition”, and there were 35,100,000 results come out. I choose “About.com” which (http://fashion.about.com/cs/historycostumes/a/whatisfashion.htm) gave the answer is “the prevailing style or custom, as in dress or behavior”. Then I typed “history of Dior”, “history of Levis”, “history of Clot”. http://www.designer-fashion-trends.com/christian-dior.htm. http://www.levistrauss.com/Heritage/History.aspx.
http://www.xici.net/b915105/d64938064.htm. The first two I searched in Google, the results were two brief biographies of Mrs. Dior and Mr. Levis. The articles were both talk about their life, and how their set up their brand. However, it could not satisfy my demands, because I also want to know how their brands developed. I typed “Dior, history, develop”, and there was a web site called fashion-era,http://www.fashion-era.com/1950s_glamour.htm, gave me a good illustrate about Dior’s development. There was the same web-site when I typed the “how Levis develop the brand”, but there was not in the same page. There was no related information about CLOT, when I typed “CLOT history.” Maybe it is a new brand also is a Chinese brand, therefore, no much information on the Google, but I found some on the Baidu which is Chinese search engine. I typed “what characteristic Dior”, there was a web sitehttp://collectingjewelrymetalware.suite101.com/article.cfm/collecting_vintage_christian_dior_jewelry, talked about its peculiarity. However, I used the same approach about Levis and Clot, there was no related information. I thought I need to do further research on these two brands.
I think keywords are very useful in my writing study. First, to my organization, keyword is my outline. Every single keyword is my one main idea; I can do my research basic on my keyword, and also prevent me to do useless work. Second, using keyword will help me to directly find out my related information which I need, what is more, is it will also refine my recourses, so that improve my work efficiency.

I choose this brand because Mr. Levis is jeans inventor. Jeans make a significant contribution for our today’s fashion. Jeans becomes more and more popular in the world. Also Levis is an American brand in where I have convenes to do research on it. The third one I will choose CLOT which comes from China. This is a new brand and only popular in Asia. Not much know it. One reason I choose this brand because this new brands have cross over corporation with many famous brands. Second reason is this brand is a special fashion brand. Its products are all limitation edition.

MY TOPIC FOR THIS SEMASTER
My topic – the fashion brand
I decide to choose this topic because I like shopping. It sounds like a girl’s hobby but I like this too. Not only for dressing me up look so cut, but also to meet my curiosity. Compare with China, America could be the shopping paradise. The lower cost can buy the better product than in china. According to the economic rules, human beings respond to the incentive. Therefore, I love this topic and I have enough motivation to do my work. My final goal is to share my experience with others. I want to make a shopping guide for people, and hope it could give people some useful suggestion.
My content will involve some famous and fashion brand like LV, Gucci, Chanel, Dior, there are the top fashion brands in the world. Also I want to introduce some brands for the students, like Levis, A&F, Diesel and so on. Finally I want to introduce my favorite brands like Evisu, A bathing ape, Fenom, and Y-3. If you want to know what this brands’ outstand characters, you need to know their history first. Second you want the product picture to illustrate their unique character. Where their shop locate and how you can buy are must include in my shopping guide. How much are their prices, and also I will seek for some outlet online shop store to share with people.
My problem for this project will in three aspects. The first is there will be much information for me to pick out the useful one, so I have to face the challenge of much reading. The second is if I want to illustrate their characters, I cannot just to show their all products, I need to pick one which could represent their topical characters. The third is my research will depend on online source, how to verify the source will be another problem.
