    In March of 2017, the Federal Court ruled that blogger Belle Gibson was misleading her audience by pretending to cure her brain cancer using alternative medicine, and that she pay a $410,000 fine for this infraction. The Herald Sun published the article ‘Belle Gibson should be charged for deceptive conduct, writes Susie O’Brien’ on the 29th of September 2017.

    Minerva Jones Summary

    What I learned about "Minerva Jones" by Edgar Lee Masters, is that in the epitaph is that she wrote poems in her village and she had a "heavy body, cock-eye, and rolling walk." The people Jones speaks about are the people in her village and the relationships and interactions that are evident are very horrible as Jones explains how a man named "Butch" Weldy and Doctor Meyers were responsible of her death. Some of the things this lets us know about the poet's view of small-town American culture is that people were willing to make fun of and/or kill someone because of the way they looked and/or walked. What I learned about "Butch"Weldy" by Edgar Lee Masters, is that after he became religious, he got "a job in the canning works."…

    Katherine Fitzpatrick does not only suggest that digital publishing has changed the very notion of authorship and the way a work is communicated to the world, but she suggests that embracing the new technologies that have infiltrated the ways we communicate, can help people feel more comfortable with themselves and their writing. Fitzpatrick claims that we need to “rethink our authorship practices and our relationships to ourselves and our colleagues as authors.” This, to me, seems like a very ambitious statement, especially so because it is predicated off of what the implications of digital authorship may be- a topic which on the surface seems to have only a tenuous association with the idea of relationships with our peers in any capacity. Fitzpatrick realizes the scholarly discussions surrounding authorship are mostly theory based; that there has been no actual framework intentionally put in place to change the notions of authorship.…
