What is writing? What is a remix? Is there a connection between the two? What are my expectations for this course? What do I hope to gain from this course?

What is writing? Some may say it is a tool for us to record history, others may say it is an art. In my perspective writing is both. Without writing, history would not be history, it would just be a tale passed from generation to generation, a myth one would say. On the other perspective writing is a way for people to escape their reality and enter a new world where everything is perfect and their worries don’t exist. It has even helped many people fight through depression, not only that but it also gives hope to new people falling into that state of mind because they’re able to read that other people have gone through what they’re going through at the moment and it can help them realize that at the end of the day it will get better. This is where it gets tricky though, the art of writing brings us new stories that will keep us entertained for all eternity, the problem is that now a days people have began retelling others stories by adding their small twist and style. In the music world one may see this as remixing, well it is the same for writing. As we go through this course I expect to improve my writing skills as well as get more familiarized with citing sources in a clear and proper manner.
