Remix

This reading was all about copyright issues and the emphasis certain individuals place on them. Completely original ideas are often hard  to come by and often times there are ideas from one thing that are transferred into other works. To me, the most shocking part of the reading was the story of the mom who got sued for taking a video of her child dancing to a Prince song and posting it on youtube. The mom most likely was unaware of the consequences of posting the video and was just trying to share the cute moment. Personally, I don't think that the mother should have been sued because if anything it would help Princes song get even more recognition and fame. This reading taught me that copyright really is no joke and that some individuals take it very seriously.

    I also agree that it was shocking that the lawyers would pursue sueing the mother for the video featuring Prince's music.

    I don't think the mother should have been sued because in her case she wasn't trying to steal Prince's work. She was just trying to share a funny video of her son dancing to his song.

    I agree that the mother should not have been sued, due to the fact that it was a toddler, and not another artist. She purely believed it was a cute video of her son, and many other viral videos with famous songs have never been sued for copyrights.

"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.
