    In this essay‚ I object to the argument in favour of illegalizing the production‚ sale‚ and consumption of porn based on the premises used in Susan Brison’s essay “The Price We Pay”? Pornography and Harm. Her argument cannot be used for such grounds as it would set in place the wrongful duty of the government to prevent any influence that could potentially‚ in any way‚ instill negative views in people about a particular group of people in society. Brison argues there to be no moral right to pornography

    Jess Walter’s writing was definitely an interesting read and I felt like it was unlike any of the other readings that we have read thus far. It kept me interested in the story and I felt that was partly because of the mystery that came with it. The end of the story was a little suspenseful‚ not exactly knowing how the story was going to continue until you kept reading. Overall‚ it was a good short read.
