Case Study: In this week's Current issues reading, Barnet & Bedau discuss the interpretation of literature. After reading their 5 assumptions of "what makes a good work of art," identify one that resonates with you (and explain why) and then add your own (i.e., different) criterion for what makes a good work of art and explain, using a work of literature (or other art form) you have enjoyed recently to illustrate your response of about 150 words.

Then, think about the short section "Thinking about the Effects of Literature" (pp. 395-396) and the three primary texts (Blanco's poem, Chopin's short story, and Plato's dialogue) in light of the 2020 New York Times article about government funding for the arts during the Great Depression. In your view, what accounts for the hostility in certain quarters toward the funding of the arts, specifically toward their receiving government funding? What role do you think literature and the arts should play in our society? Do you think the arts should be supported by tax dollars? Explain your reasoning, referencing at least two of the readings (Blanco, Chopin, Plato) in your response of about 150 words)

Question: Finally, how do you see the arts evolving alongside the culture of the internet and social media? Please cite specific examples and reference McCulloch in your response of about 100-150 words.
