Remix

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.

"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.

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.
