Dance

Dance is my favorite past time, I spend the majority of my free time attending dance classes and competitions. I have been dancing since I was three and I have recently traveled to New York for dance and my favorite types of dance are ballet, tap, and contemporary.I like dance because it enables you to find yourself and loose yourself all at the same time, its both an art form and a physically demanding sport.It involves using your brain to memorize steps and movements and to portray a feeling to the audience and a physical matter, your muscles and legitments must simultaneously work together to put together the puzzle that is movement.

In this piece of literature the author is portraying a bias opinion on the going dispute between major music making corporations and everyday and everyday music users. The author feels as if the major corporations and are not being fair towards the music users of today and that they should evolve with the times and the way music is being used today. He also explains that he questions the motives behind the suing and law suits about the illegal use of music in that it is really the artists of the songs being offended or is it just the major corporations looking for money? I personally think that he has a legitimate point in that are the corporates really just out for money?

 

 

This is a bias piece of literature and it is seen when the author does things like uses anecdotes to explain the news story of how the band Metallica's representatives sued many people for the use of there music, but it was made clear to the everyday person that Metallica was not really behind the suing it was just the major corporation looking for money. He also uses appeal to authority by getting internet music experts to talk about how they feel about the dispute and conveniently they all feel the same as the author. This proves that this is a bias piece of literature because the author only explains one side.

 

 
Overall I think that this author is trying to voice an bias opinion on the on going battle between music users and major music making corporations and he uses bias opinions to elaborate one side of the battle, a side which he personally is on. A message from the film is how the laws about music using should evolve with time and technology advances and we shouldn't be sued for laws based on past conditions. It is bias in that he truly only examines one side and tries to use flashing music and colorful scenes to attract you to his side of the debate
