      Isn't this what makes the internet so dangerous?

    2. he commercial backbone of online media should factor into what we choose to share about our community and ourselves.

      The media should not have that much to control over how the interactions on the internet spread

      The internet is such a dangerous place and can lead to getting an audience that do not understand and in turn and lead to complicated interactions.

    4. When creating your own media, one should be aware of how imitation of popular or approved media images might come into play,

      Thinking about how messages are communications it makes you wonder if there are ways to get around the stereotypes of social media posts or if we are stuck in a rut where there is no getting out of imitating what is popular because there is such a push to follow the pop culture trends

    2. www.snackandbakery.com16Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery - January 2014Christine Cochran, executive director of the Grain Foods Foundatio

      I believe this person is credible because she is an executive director

    1. I refer, of course, to that mixed bag of politicized professors and theory-happy revisionists of the 1970s and 1980s — feminists, ethnicists, Marxists, semioticians, deconstructionists, new historicists, and cultural materialists — all of whom took exception to the canon while not necessarily seeing eye to eye about much else.

      This makes me think that there is a constant shift in how people view literature in regards to the societal context as was done in regards to Milton and Shakespeare.

    2. The canon, they argued, represented the best that had been thought and said, and its contents were an expression of the human condition: the joy of love, the sorrow of death, the pain of duty, the horror of war, and the recognition of self and soul.

      Letting the mentality around a canon change should not occur???

    3. canon formation was, in truth, a result of the middle class’s desire to see its own values reflected in art.

      This is what I was thinking about.

    4. The tree he had helped cultivate now bent dangerously under the weight of its own foliage. Other genres — mysteries, thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, horror, and romance — extended from the trunk, sprouting titles that Adler must have bristled at, including those by women and minority writers whose books flourished, so it was claimed, because of their sex and ethnicity.

      I don't like the idea that he would be mad about the different genres of writing. I think the genres have just shown us how far literature has come as a whole.

    5. questioning whether “something called literature actually exists,”

      Why wouldn't literature exist? The difference between what people deem as "good" literature versus "bad" literature is up for debate. But literature has existed for hundreds of years. Even before the novel was big in the public eye. Beowulf was literature despite being a Epic poem.

    6. reason alone should be sufficient to tell us that War and Peace is objectively greater than The War of the Worlds, no matter which one we prefer to reread.

      Logic and passion should not be considered in regards to what is defined as literature.

    7. We want important writing (bearing in mind that not every successful poem, play, or story need be utterly serious) to explore the human condition,
    8. always

      Always is a very, very strong word

    9. a record of one human being’s sojourn on earth, proffered in verse or prose that artfully weaves together knowledge of the past with a heightened awareness of the present in ever new verbal configurations.

      Human condition and growth is what is most important isn't it???

    10. literature does not encompass every book that comes down the pike, however smart or well-made.

      Why not????

    11. as late as 1970 there was probably little disagreement as to what constituted literature.3

      Why did literature need a concrete definition?

    12. the canon became equated with a syllabus.

      This is something I had never thought about, that is really cool.

    13. uniform sets of poetry or the “complete works” of writers were standard publishing fare; and because the books looked and felt so good — The Aldine Edition of the British Poets (1830–52) was bound in morocco and marbled boards with gilt on the front covers and spines — each decorative volume seemed to shout “Literature.”?

      Literature should not be simply because of the look it also should not be a uniform style for writing like they wanted in the 1800s

    14. critics hoped that a tradition of great writers would help create a national literature.

      This is the idea behind reading the classics isn't it? To help us to develop an understanding about reading as a whole?

    15. Because a canon of vastly superior ancient writers — Homer, Virgil, Cicero — already existed, a modern canon had been slow to develop. One way around this dilemma was to create new ancients closer to one’s own time, which is precisely what John Dryden did in 1700, when he translated Chaucer into Modern English. Dryden not only made Chaucer’s work a classic; he helped canonize English literature itself.

      Canons have been slowly developing and can create a new form of literature?

    16. “perpetual copyright”

      Is this idea of there only being a certain number of plots in the world?

    17. Greil Marcus and Werner Sollors’s A New Literary History of America. Alongside essays on Twain, Fitzgerald, Frost, and Henry James, there are pieces about Jackson Pollock, Chuck Berry, the telephone, the Winchester rifle, and Linda Lovelace

      This seems to really illustrate the mentality that lots of things can be considered literature

    4. Pop Art is so popular today that it’s used for creating awesome birthday cards, t-shirts, badges, calendars, posters, canvases – so it’s really hard to ignore. The features of this art like the bright colors and the prints haven’t yet faded and I seriously doubt that they’ll ever will, as the popular movement still continues to fascinate today.

      there it is, so it is in clothing. thought confirmed

    5. Today, Pop Art is still very popular, whether we’re talking about old originals selling for thousands of pounds or copies of those which are selling in large numbers for a small price. It’s clear that pop art has became more than just a statement and it’s impossible to ignore, it’s absolutely everywhere you go, in everyday life places, used for advertising (that is what it was initially used for in the 50’s).

      but where is it mostly?

    6. Clemens Briels, James Rizzi, Romero Britto, Steve Kaufman among others. All of these artists work in a Pop style and they have all found success in today’s art marketplace.

    11. collages

      diff medium for pop art, then became pretty popular #magazinecutouts

    12. Andy Warhol’s motto was “I think everybody should be a machine” and actually tried to make it artworks that looked like there were made by a machine.

      thats intense, but he did a good job at making machine paintings

    13. Pop art is about removing the material from its context and isolating the object or combining it with other objects for contemplation. This concept actually refers to the attitudes that led to art.

      so if its in oil paint, its definitely not a portrait of a royal family member in the traditional sense

    14. Britain

      thought it was america???

    15. visual pleasures of people – like television, magazines or comics.

    1. But seeing [these diets] in photos is really striking and makes them look much less appealing than hearing that Beyonce did it."

      this is a good idea I am going to see what celebrity backings for these fads.

    2. "A lot of times, it's a draw: No diet is better than the other," she says in a video press release. "When a diet does outdo another diet in terms of weight loss, it's by a very small amount."

      these diets do not work and no one is better than the other. I think they will talk about the diet rebound weight.

    3. "There's all this stuff in the media about fad diets," she says, "and I think we need to eat better and watch what you eat, but you don't necessarily need these diets to take care of that

      I wonder how much social media has affected the popularity and spread of Fad diets.

    4. It was that sort of thinking that first prompted photographer Stephanie Gonot to investigate many current fad diets.

      I think this is an awesome artist view of fad diets, on paper some of these diets can sound healthy but looking at them in context paints a different picture.

    5. On one level, it's easy to understand the allure of a fad diet: Eat this, not that and you'll lose weight, guaranteed. Who doesn't want an easy way to shed unwanted pounds?

      I think that this is going to be a satire on fad diets. Making fun of them and how crazy they sound

    1. She said that in order to make sense of it, you need to think of musicals, because the plot in a musical exists to stop all of the songs from happening at once, and to get you from song to song. You need the song where the heroine pines for what she does not have, you need the songs where the whole chorus is doing something rousing and upbeat, and you need the song when the lovers get together and, after all the vicissitudes, triumph.

      I want to understand this analogy, but it's eluding me. I'm reading on in hopes that the next paragraph clears things up for me.

    2. invented fairly recently by the publishing industry?

      always market interests at play. always.

    3. Readers are often, refreshingly, less territorial as they work with a text. I'm happy to see that Ishiguro didn't lose popularity for genre-busting. He's earned the right at the very least.
