Cite specific musical details from each song to demonstrate how the two songs are related. What did Paul Simon borrow from the original song? What is added that makes it his song?
Explain the idea of cultural appropriation, using the discussion in the Jenkins/Guan article as a guide:

Explain at least one bad outcome, or drawback, to cultural borrowing or appropriation as it is discussed in the article. Are there better and worse ways to borrow from a different culture other than ones own? Or should it be avoided completely?

This is a piece of formal writing. Your answers should be in paragraph form and the entire essay should be edited so that answers flow together to create a coherent experience for the reader. List any additional sources you use beyond the Bakan textbook and the Jenkins/Guan article with proper citations in the style of your choice
