This article essentially starts off by saying how identity begins in infancy and ends with the culmination of ones life. The article then focuses specifically on Adolescent identity and says how it is significant in that it allows for youth to establish their self identity in ways that weren't otherwise possible during childhood. Specifically, the ability to reflect on one's own thoughts is mentioned and is said to lead to a "new dimension of self discovery. From then on the writers analyze the language and emotional codes that adolescents use to express themselves in blogs and elaborate on their particular findings such as the use of emoticons and diction.
I believe that this article can hold relevance in my future research seeing as the upcoming essay requires the analysis of a blog and personally I was hoping to observe a teenage blog for the sense of being able to relate. This article fits perfectly with what I hope to do in that it essentially focuses on the key things worth looking at in terms of teenage blogs. It would be extremely useful for my research.
