I'll be in my studio, studio



Not much to say, what do you think? Would you use the studio now? Did you know about it before? Was this to short? Did can you spot the AGT reference?

How to tell if a person is Hitler

Image © 2009 technicolor_pie of Furaffinity.net

I found this image on an art site I belong to and I think this would be a good one to try my project on. Basically this is just a little PSA image someone drew to tell people that it is not appropriate to call someone Hitler (or a Nazi) just because they where mean to you. Have you ever called someone Hitler (like your art teacher when she gave that painting you worked so hard on a "B" because your perspective was off )? Did you stop to think how wrong that comparison actually was? The bold text to the left makes the point that it is more important then the stuff on the right. The serious look on the cartoon Hitler's face shows that message is semi serious (Not of great importance but still worth noting.)

I have to do this for homework.

Greetings professor and classmates, this is my first post/homework assignment to my English 101 blog.

Here is the video i had to watch for class



The video uses clips from Disney movies (Disney is responsible for the longer copyright) to talk about copyright and fair use. Interesting this video shows how far use works by using less the 30 secs for any one movie and properly attributing the original clips to their creator. What do you think about copyright and fair use? Is fair use well enough defined? Did this video follow fair use or has it just manage to escape the copyright nazis all these years? On that subject is copyright too over zealous? Please leave any comments you have.

I was also fascinated how rhetoric is all around us. That every day we us rhetoric and have it used on us as well. How it is used to make us buy, vote, watch, read, and such. Where do you see rhetoric and how do you use it.

I must admit I changed this post after what the teacher said to make it a better. Thank you for reading my humble English 101 blog, see you next post.
