Remix

Before reading the remix introduction, I rarely ever focussed on copyrights. The article mentioned many cases of copyright issues that seem ridiculous. Sometimes people don't mean to do it, like the mother in the article. She just wanted to share a video of her son dancing to her family, but in the end she was sued $150,000 by Prince. Personally, I thought this was an overreaction. The mother was just sharing a video of her son dancing to a Prince song in the background. However, this just reminds people how important it is to give the original creators credit for their work, to avoid consequences like this. Even though many new ideas are originated from previous ones, credit should still be given to the owners because the new idea was based off the original one.

    Yes I agree the example with the mother is an overreaction. The reading does emphasize how important copyright laws are.

    I agree with you 100%, Prince's reaction towards the mothers video post on Youtube was an overreaction. I also believe that this reading definitely emphasized the importance of copyright laws.

    I agree that some of the copyright issues were ridiculous and that most people don't even realize they are doing it.

    I agree with what you said about the copyright being an overreaction. Im sure the mom wasn't aware of the consequences of posting the video with the prince track.

    I also agree that the reading really made me realize how important copyright laws are, and how they are taken very seriously.

"Really Responding"

Sophia Fundora  The text "Really Responding" surprised me in the way that Richard Straub claimed that putting forth maximum effort when peer reviewing someone else's paper could make you an even better writer. He emphasizes the importance of writing comments within the margarines and summarizing the paper in your own words. I believe that this strategy mentioned could be very helpful not only for the person who's paper your reviewing but for yourself as well. It helps the writer see how the audience would perceive their paper and what they need to work on. It helps the reviewer by enhancing their comprehension skills and applying their own comments on their own paper as well. I also believe his strategy of taking the stage of drafting in to consideration when peer reviewing could be very helpful. For example, Straub mentions how if it's a first or rough draft, try not to deal with all the editing at once but instead focus on the large picture like the focus, con...

Picture Rhetoric

This ticket is advertising an upcoming event that the sorority, Delta Gamma, is holding. It is rhetorically effective because it is colorful and completely delivers the idea that there will be a variety of different desserts at the event. The candies work very closely with theme and helps students to easily look at the ticket and be able to understand what the event is. I think that the size is very effective for this advertising ticket. I also think it very well informs the public because it states the time the event will be held and the date, as well as the address.

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War- Sophia Fundora, Alison McGrath

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War Throughout the sixties, antiwar protests sprung up across America due to the United States' controversial involvement in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War Protests are marked as being some of the first major anti-war protests in the States. In today's society, there are various non-violent anti-war protests around the globe. These protests have made monumental differences around the world, as put by Julia Bacha, "The [Budrus] residents, after ten months of peaceful resistance, convinced the Israeli government to move the root of the barrier off their lands and to the green line, which is internationally recognized boundary between Israel and the Palestinian territories," (1). Though some may claim that the Vietnam protests had no effect and the only reason we pulled out of the war was due to how costly it was, this protest is pivotal in setting an example for future peaceful protestors throughout history.
