In the following exercises I will be analyzing the work of Thomas Frank, "Commodify Your Dissent" and Thomas Hine, "What is in the Package?". On the first exercise I will be summarizing Thomas Frank's essay "Commodify Your DIssent". On the second exercise I will be writing to Thomas Frank and addressing some questions as well as briefly explaining his article. On the third exercise I will write a letter to a friend connecting both articles together and providing a better analysis on the topic of consumption. Finally on the final essay I will be using the ideas from both exercises and explaining how the ideas of consumption apply to the division of society.
