Opinion/commentary Piece
Twins have been around since the beginning of time and have fascinated mankind.
I happen to be a twin and I wanted to know more about it, how common it is and
the different types of twins. Twins are very interesting and there are so many
different factors to how they are created and the different types of twins.
I
knew that there were the two main types of twins, fraternal and identical but
there are seven different types of twins: identical, fraternal, half-identical,
mirror image twins, mixed chromosome twins, superfecundation, and
superfetation. Identical and fraternal twins are the most common but the other
five are definitely not impossible.
I had no idea that twins do not have to be
born on the same day; the longest birth gap between twins ever recorded is 85
days. This mostly happened when one twin is born early because of aging
complications and the other twin is left in the womb for further development,
which is very unhealthy for the first born twin, but beneficial for the second.
About 25% of twins are called a mirror image twin which means that they are
identical but are in a mirror image reflection. Scientists think that this has
to do with the egg splitting later than normal after gestation. For example if
one twin has a birthmark on the right arm then the other twin would have it on
the left. I think that it is really cool that this can happen and that the
genetics between the two children are shared and it makes similar features.
Research shows that taller women are more likely to have twins than shorter
women because of the extra weight of two children in the womb and insulin like
growth factors that promotes twins production. Also women over 35 are more
likely to have twins than younger than 35 due to higher levels of
follicle-stimulating hormones.
Identical twins do not have identical finger prints, which are caused by random
stresses experienced in the womb. Also a different umbilical cord can change
the finger print and is a way for doctors to tell them apart.
Multiple studies have shown that location plays a role into how many twins in
the area are born. Some areas have higher twin birth rates than others like the
city Benin; Africa has 27.9 twins for every 1,000 babies born. Massachusetts,
New Jersey and Connecticut have a 25% higher rate of twin births than the rest
of the nation. Hawaii and Mexico have a twin birth rate of 30% lower than the
national average. In some societies having twins is not at all common and is considered
a strange thing.
Twins do not have to have the same father; it is possible that a woman gives
birth to two children at the same time with different fathers. It is called
heteropaternal superfecundation when this happens and it is very uncommon, but
it is possible according to genetic tests and research.
There is a gene that is passed through the family that is likely to cause the
birth of twins called hyper-ovulation which increases the chances of having
twins and makes it possible for twins to run in the family. Scientists have
said that it skips a generation but that fact is not proven. Me and my brother
are twins, and my cousins are twins (my dads sister), and twins do run in my
family because my aunts are triplets.
Twins are shown to have some sort of bond even in the womb, studies show that
the fetuses interact even before they are born and within hours after the
birth. That supports the saying that twins have an unbreakable bond and are in
a way “connected” to each other. Me and my twin brother are pretty close to
each other and we have sort of bond that not all siblings have.
Some
places in the world not have a lot of twins and they think it is very strange
for that to occur and consider twins to be "evil" and
"unnatural". I don't think that is ethical or correct at all because
twins are a completely natural occurrence that happens all the time and it is
even common to have more than two kids at a time like triplets or more.

Personal Essays
1. What was one idea that the writer gave in the Wide Range of Topics section that you can use as you start deciding on a topic?
What ever you care about is fair game for an essay topic.
2. What was one idea the writer gave in the Opinions Pieces section that you should remember as you are writing your piece?
If you’re writing about the “small” personal occurrence — a move, your first pet — put it in a context that gives the reader insight to both the small moment and the wider perspective.
3. List three suggestions the writer makes in the Personal Essays and Crafts section that you will use as you write.

3. List three suggestions the writer makes in the Personal Essays and Crafts section that you will use as you write.
- Personal essays by definition contain a personal perspective. You should be there. Watch your construction. If every sentence begins “I”, you need to rephrase to provide a better rhythm and pace to your piece.
- No extra points for the number of facts you include. Academic essays contain more facts than opinion, personal essays contain more opinion than facts. But ensure the facts you use are accurate. Check names, spellings, numbers. Two sources of confirmation are better than one.
- Make connections. If you’re writing about a global theme (poverty, unemployment, child abuse) bring the subject closer to home by relating it to specific, individual examples. If you’re writing about more mundane subjects (left-hand turn signals, the search for the best French Fries, your daughter’s graduation) again, set your views against a wider backdrop or perspective so the reader can relate to it.

Short Answer:Today begins early voting across the city. There are a number of important issues on the ballot and the last few days of the newspaper have been filled with information, advice and commentary.

Student of the Month Story
Student of the Month
This past week I interviewed Nya
who was nominated by Ms. Welchel for Student of the Month.
Student of
the Month is an award given to students for academics, athletics or both and is
a very prestigious award that many students are after.
“My best
subject is English and I am good at academics and track.” Student of the Month
Nya said.
She was given this award after she
received straight A’s this past six weeks and for her awards in track at last
weeks track meet.
“Getting
straight A’s is important to me for success,” Student of the Month Nya said.
Bowie High School has given
Freshman Nya this award for the September Student of the Month.
“I don’t
feel pressure to be a good student because it comes naturally to me.
She worked very hard on her school
work and did all her homework to achieve Student of the Month. She also was
respectful to her peers and teachers.
“To become
Student of the Month I worked hard, got good grades and was respectful to
everyone,” Student of the Month Nya said.
Student of the Month is awarded to
the most studious, hardworking and respectful students in the school.
“It wasn’t
really a goal for me it happened out of the blue but I do think I deserved it,”
Student of the Month Nya said.
Student if the Month is obviously
awarded monthly and is a great honor to get because there are 3,000 possible
winners at our school and only one person wins a month.
“No one helped me get it, I just
worked hard myself and turned my work in time,” Student of the Month Nya said.
There are many opportunities to get
Student of the Month because most students are at the school for 4 years and
there plenty of academic and athletic events throughout the school year.
“I like to film and edit in my free
time aside from school activities,” Student of the month Nya said.
Although not all students can get
the award, it is okay because the school has so many things to do and so many
new people to meet. There are tons of clubs and extracurricular activities to
get involved in.
“Things that go into people
considering a new student of the month are grades, being respectful and being involved
in the school,” Student of the Month Nya said.
