Hi Mallory! First thing first, what a powerful post! I liked your responses and every example that you used to explain your thoughts. The example about the police and how it is designed as a repressive apparatus was a very good way to explain that idea. Now, let me talk about the example that you used for question number 4, girl!! That song was powerful, a very good example of a sign of protest to the society that we live in today, I totally loved it. Very good Mallory!
