    OP/ED First Assignment

    April 2, 2019

    Who is the author of this piece? (Not simply the name)

    A writer for Opinion and the Atlantic, named Conor Friedersdorf, who is not part of the editorial

    team for The Los Angeles Times.

    Where is this piece published?

    The Los Angeles Times, which is a news paper/website

    When is this piece published?

    August 1st 2018

    What is the main subject/argument here?

    That though the Trump Star is being vandalized, it should stay on the Walk of Fame. The author

    argues that removing it would cause incentive for vandalizing other stars. Having a star on the

    Walk of Fame does not mean you are good or beloved, it is just a landmark offering koodos to

    different celebrity’s. Fame is often given to people who don’t deserve it

    Why was this piece written? (purpose)

    Though we don’t all agree that celebrities like Trump deserve a star, the stars should be

    vandalized and more importantly removing the stars will just encourage vandalizing other ones.

    The most important thing is the public must understand that fame does not equal goodness.
