  1. According to the article they say, i say, by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein writers should use the model, “entering the conversation”. Its important because itll help you to become a better writer. Youll hear other point of view and itll expand your idea for writing. Critical thinking also plays a part.
  2. I agree that learning to look at art can help even though i dont seem to understand everyone artwork concept. Looking at artwork forces you to dig deeper, it teaches you to educate yourself more and instead of making assumptions to ask more questions.

The topic I chose to write about do paper two was how the use of headphone change our experiences with public space. Many people have become so accustomed to wearing headphones that it is nearly second nature for them to do so. These people not only wear headphones all of the time, but they also wear them almost everywhere, including in public places. People construct their own “private soundscapes” in public spaces by wearing headphones (Aletta et al., 2016). Researchers should pay attention to this issue since the establishment of private acoustic environments can change people’s perceptions of public space. This study addresses five research questions about using headphones in parks and on public transportation: why people use them, when they first start using them and when they stop, what activities they do while wearing headphones, what they listen to, as well as how wearing headphones impacts their experience.

  1. What Krukowski means by this is music is always evolving and so is the way of hearing music.For example, we dont have to own a record player or go buy CDs anymore, its on our phones,tv and even social medias.
  2. People are also drawn to whats hot instead of what they enjoy so it leaves certain individuals little choice for expansion on hearing different genres or kinds of music. Basically the difference between the marginalized and the powerful.
  3. When being surprised takes place you can just be listening to something you havent heard yet and could be surprised by how good it sounds, but when discovering music it could be a different type of genre or something you’d think youll never be caught listening to or wouldnt think to click on a regular day.
  4. Forced exposures is different from other platforms because they play all types of music and not only music that falls into the category of what you usually listen to on a regular daily basis.

  1. Ralph Ellison talks about how he lives in a new york apartment with little soundproof. He was constantly distracted with noise and it affected him and his projects he had going on. For example , he spoke about his neighbors playing music and being noisy, and a singer who lived above him but overall the experience made him think deeper on logic of music.
  2. i think Ellison means you cant avoid noise or music without other noises so instead of suffering from noises make something good out of it.
  3. based off of Ellison and Krukowski you can say they both think you cant avoid sounds.

1)I think the difference between hearing and listening is that to hear means for sound to go in your ears even if you want to hear it or not. Listening is a choice , you dont necessarily have to pay attention.For example, you can hear but dont have to be listening to whats actually going on.Yes, we make choices of what we listen to and race and social classes do play a part. everybody has different beliefs especially when it comes to race or religion
2)Schafer and krukowski discuss the relationship between sound and space by explaining that sound is always around us.schafer believes that sounds depend on the culture aspect of feelings
