Introduction: A personal response to literature is a five paragraph essay where the author describes the affect a certain aspect of an author’s artistry had on him. There are two ways of completing this assignment, you may choose either. The first is reflective, which reads much like an essay. You will simply detail the affect an element of artistry the author used had on you following the outline below. The second is imaginative. With this approach, you will do your best to mimic an element of artistry that an author used.

Instructions:

• – Find an element of artistry used by an author that we studied in quarter 3 that you would like to write about. Refer to the artistry sheet for more information or a refresher on what artistry is.
• – Please choose one of the approaches described above. You may pick either 1) reflective or 2) imaginative.
• – If you chose reflective, please follow the outline provided below.
• – For both essays, be sure to follow all MLA guidelines for headings and source citing.
• – You may use “I” and other personal pronouns in this paper due to its nature.Instructions for the Reflective Approach:

• – Write an introduction with a thesis that clearly states what element of artistry you will be reflecting on and how it bettered the piece of literature you are looking at.
• – In your first body paragraph, simply describe how the artistry affected you.
• – In your second body paragraph, explain how you think the artist intended to use thatelement to enhance their piece’s theme or meaning.
• – In your 3rd body paragraph, answer the question how did your experience with theauthor’s artistry convince you to agree or disagree with their theme or meaning?
• – Conclude by summarizing points and restating thesis in a different way.Instructions for Imaginative Approach:

• – Write a short blurb at the start of your paper that details which author, piece, and element of artistry you will be trying to replicate.
• – Write something, (a poem, a short story, a haiku, a script, etc.) that replicates the author’s artistry to the best of your ability.
• – Please keep imaginative submissions to less than 2 pages. (You may ignore the MLA rule on double spacing for imaginative pieces.)
• – Since the guidelines for this approach are more ambiguous, please only attempt it if you feel comfortable identifying and understanding artistry and its impact on a reader.

In 2015, the New York Times ran a negative story about Amazon’s workplace conditions. To combat this negative coverage, Jay Carney, a former White House press secretary and Amazon’s senior vice president for corporate affairs, criticized the New York Times story and its source on Medium.com. sources from this story included anonymous sources that did not reveal their true identities because of a nondisclosure agreement with Amazon.

A major source for this story, a former Amazon employee, Bo Olsen, gave an interview with the New York Times criticizing Amazon’s workplace. In his response, Carney revealed that Olsen was under investigation for fraud during his time at Amazon. Olsen actually admitted he had attempted to defraud vendors and resigned his position because of that. This case study illustrates corporations’ willingness to use communication tactics, as opposed to legal ones, to combat negative publicity. The case study of Amazon v. NYT presents an example of the tensions between defamation and privacy laws and demonstrates how corporations use social media platforms to combat negative press attention.

For your assignment I want you suppose you work as the social media manager for the restaurant chain Best Burger. One day while scanning posts about your company, you see that someone on Twitter posted three very negative comments about Best Burger. The comments were as follows:

Tweet 1: Best Burger is the WORST restaurant EVER!!! #nevereathere

Tweet 2: Best Burger’s food tastes like cardboard. It isn’t even real food

Tweet 3: Best Burger is not worth the price. They use dog food to make their hamburgers.

Assuming that Best Burger thinks its hamburgers are great and that the do not use dog food to make them, are any of these comments subject to defamation laws? Why or why not? Write a two-page paper regarding your answer. This is due on Thursday, March 26, 2020. I will send Chapter 12 with your assignment on Friday, March 27, 2020. Please e-mail me or call me with amy questions. Stay safe and well.
