My Controversy is based more on an event than on a place and unfortunately my event isn't a riot or a speech but instead is a letter. Or rather the writing of a letter. And that of course makes writing a post based on setting a little bit more difficult. With That being said my story still has a setting its just a bit more abstract. Jennifer Lawrence wrote the letter that ignited the controversy after the Sony server was hacked leaking private emails and information that detailed the pay gaps bewteen men and women actors, namely Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, and Jeremy Renner who all stared together in "American Hustle". Lawrence did not speak out about the issue until almost a year later when Jenni, a co-owner of the online newsletter Lenny.com, asked Jennifer Lawrence to write a newsletter on her feelings about the wage issue. Lawrence, who is known for her mild manner and overall pleasant personality did not hold back in the letter. She was obviously angry about the issue and as many people do when safe behind a screen she let it all out. Sony head quarters is in California. As is Lawrence's home where she sat at her computer and wrote the letter so I suppose you could say the setting is California but that seems a bit broad to me. I believe that the true setting of this controversy is the internet. Without the internet the information never would have been sent
via email. Without internet Korea never would have intercepted the server, because there would be no server. And without internet there would be no newsletter. Just as without Troy there'd be no Trojan hourse, without the internet there would be no wage gap controversy. However, because this is a Hollywood controversy I will be using LA as the setting for my next blog post.
