TOPIC 1: BANNED BOOKS AND YOUR BOOKSHELF

On the 2017 list of banned books I recognize Thirteen Reasons Why, Drama, and To Kill a Mockingbird I never read any of them, but I have heard the titles.
After reading the reasons why some of these books were banned I don’t agree with banning them at schools. I think they are fine for schools as long as they go to the correct students. All the books on the challenged list I believe should not be in elementary schools or middle schools, but high school is fine.
All the books on my bookshelf right now are school textbooks, that should tell the reader of this that I am not a big reader and mostly stick to what is necessary for me to read.



TOPIC 2: MAGAZINES

I don’t normally read magazines but If I am at a doctor or a waiting room I usually go for auto magazines. If they don’t have those then I usually go for a national geographic. I think that this shows that I don’t usually like magazines but when I do read them I enjoy learning new things.
Usually products related to the magazines, in the auto magazines it is usually car parts or auto shops that advertise. In national geographic I never notice advertisements, but I would have to imagine they would be for products that generally are used by older people such as aspirin.

When I was a kid we always talked about using LimeWire to download music, all my friends did it but I was just a bit too young to understand it, whenever I wanted music I would download the audio from music on YouTube and use that. After watching the documentary, I would like to know more about copyright laws and blogs, also the film is quite dated at this point, so I would like to know more about how the laws have or have not changed. The song Black Cow by Steely Dan has a wonderful original beat that was taken by Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz to help create their song Déjà vu. In my opinion the reason their song got any popularity was from the beat

week 3

TOPIC 1 I searched the first brand I could think of which was @hefty on twitter. I went to their page to look around and I found that almost every post was a retweet. The tweets they do have that are their own are mostly jokes or replying to others praising the brand. The target audience looks like it is mothers. The reason I say this is because most of the things they retweet are by mothers or have mothers in the picture with the hefty garbage bag. I don’t think they are doing a great job because they only have about 6k followers. If I was the product manager I would try to get out there on twitter and interact with more people including other brands. the Wendy’s twitter account is always being talked about because they basically just trash talk other companies and people love it, if I were a brand manager I would try to do something like that.
