Remix


Haley Ketchum

Copyright is a huge issue that not many people know about. Copyright is obviously very important, as it protects an artist’s work and prevents others from stealing their ideas and making money off the artist. But like the mom who uploaded her son’s video to YouTube, I had no idea that you could get sued for sharing a video featuring an artist’s music, but it makes sense to me. If the video had gone viral, the mom could have made money off the video, causing her to make money off of Prince’s work. This is not really fair, so I understand why copyright laws need to be taken seriously. I think the mom should have not fought back and just let the video be deleted because it was clear she had broken the law. I also think it is crazy that John Lennon’s copyright debate was still occurring even after the exhibit had opened. It seems excessive and the lawyers were taking it to seriously. I think there is a fine line between stealing an artist’s work and simply having fun with remixing or sharing a video with music in the background.

    I agree that copyright is a big deal today, but certain situations are more severe than others.

    I did not take copyright issues seriously, such as the case as the mom sharing a video of her son dancing. I agree that a lot of these cases are excessive and unreasonable.

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...

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.
