This response essay has three prompts (1,2,3) and there are multiple responses required for each prompt. Address them all.
1.Identify the song you chose and where you found it to listen to. Using the terms defined in her essay (cultural exploitation, exploitation, and cultural disrespect), explain how well the song you choose can be measured up against these terms as Gray defines them.
2. Discuss how effective you find Gray’s definitions in clarifying your understanding of the concepts and distinguishing them. If you do not find them effective, explain why you were not convinced.
3. How does she use logos, ethos, and pathos to make her points? Use direct examples.
