Blog Post 10

Writing is the use of modes such as text, letters, words, all pieced together to communicate an idea or thought to an audience. My answer has changed a little since the first blog post, but I still think that writing is more than just the words that go into a novel, but in a different way than I first thought. Writing yes can be an essay, art form, all of that but writing also falls under the letters used to send a text message, email, or flyer. Remix is everything we see and know in life. I first thought remix as a song from a playlist, but sitting through this class I have learned my words, other peoples words, movies, everything is a remix. We are gaining ideas from past ideas everyday in life and that defines what remixing is. I think the connection between writing and remix is what I just said. Phrases people use are remixes from past phrases changed or perhaps cut down for twenty first century use. The movies we watch are often times remixes of old ideas or genres that have been past created. I have a new outlook on remix and writing and the correlation between the two now.
