READ ALL ATTACHED FILES AND WATCH SCREENINGS.
Please engage at least one of this week's authors (Sarah Banet-Weiser and Lauren Rabinovitz), & assigned music videos Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone" and The Ren and Stimpy Show, "Powdered Toast Man" to craft an organized and coherent 300-500 word response to the week's material. You may choose to address anyone or multiple of the below prompts and/or pose your own questions, critiques, and assessments. Please address specific and relevant aesthetic/thematic/narrative details about the episode(s), though, and use direct quotes or substantive paraphrases of the readings.
Q:
