Remix - Introduction

Jacqueline Kulle
The introduction began by explaining how a child named Holden started dancing to a Prince song, and his mom recorded it to upload it on Youtube to show relatives. Someone came across this video who worked for Universal Music Group and decided to file a copyright complaint. Youtube then took this video down for liability reasons. Lens, the mother of Holden, did not understand what she did wrong and did not violate any laws. There were other examples given, proving how culture functions with situations like these. Another example was given was a comparison of a reception for Bob Marley and one for John Lennon. The one for Bob Marley was very inviting in celebrating him, while the one for John Lennon was not. The one for John Lennon was very concentrated on copyright infringement policies. I found this reading very interesting to see how some people act viciously when people are just trying to listen and enjoy certain music. Copyright laws can make it hard for other people to get creative with music, and the reading explains how different cultures have reacted towards this. Today, most children do illegally listen to music, while some are getting punished for similar actions.

Action Plan

For my action plan I will add more pictures to my website and continue to expand on my topic. I also plan to make posters to place around campus to reach outside audiences and use that as my nondigital source. I will continue to work over the weekend to finish the project and best carry out my message on my website.

1) In project two I first did a lot of research to gather ideas and topics that I wanted to include in my essay. Then I went through and proofed it while adding citations and formatting everything. I did ended up doing three drafts rather than two. Project one was a little easier to write in my opinion because it was based off of our observations rather than facts and statistics. 2) I liked taking my first draft and transforming it into a final draft. This is where I organized all my thoughts and made the paper flow nicely. Once I have all my ideas out on the paper I can easily reorganize, cut and add new things. 3) I enjoyed project one more. I think it was lighter in the sense that it was more fun to write about. I liked exploring the different kinds of social adaptions in the films while also comparing time eras.

Jamica Williams What are some subversion examples the author mentions? A few books the the author mentions It's just a plant, Heather has two Mommies, and Gloria Goes Gay Can you think of other 2 books or movies that are subversion? Scary movie 1 and 2 Why are they subversion? Scary movie is subversive because it takes into account the the rhetorical factors in most scary movies and joke on them. Its more of a comedy than a "scary" movie. Each of the characters do exactly whats expected. They run the opposite way like up the stairs, trip and fall multiple times, and even live with the ghost that is haunting them. What do you think "GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP?" Who should be the target audience for this book? The audience of this book is any adult/parent. Because its probably R-Rated its targeted to older people, and anyone can find this humorous.
