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.

Writing Activity March 27, 2018

My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 because I had to conduct research towards my argumentative topic. I also was required to use the Florida State university database in order to find peer-reviewed article that would provide me with correct information. This essay also had several sources whom mad me sound more credible towards my audience, which enabled me to write more about my topic.

I was able to carefully go over any grammatical or punctuation errors as well as make sure that all my sentences made sense and were not random. I enjoyed project 2 the most because I was required to conduct research on my topic, which allowed me to expand my knowledge towards an argument that is personal to me and it made me sound even more credible when discussing this argument face to face with someone.

The Bedford Book of Genres

Throughout chapter 1 of “The Bedford Book of Genres,” I learned that there are a variety of ways to improve one’s writing. Several writers tend to get carried away while writing that they forget who their audience is and what message they are trying to deliver. This is when one must ask themselves what their purpose of writing is, do they want to present a narrative/ tell a story, inform, or persuade. After figuring out ones purpose they must choose a genre to be able to shorten their idea and be concise. In order for this to occur one must know the basic qualities and agreed-upon rules about the genre they are composing. Once one makes those decisions they move on to the rhetorical situation which mainly explains the idea. This allows the writer to provide support on their purpose such as saying what is great about it or provide statistics, which will automatically make their writing more interesting for the audience to read, as well as, get t...
