GATSBY CHAPTER 2 NOTES

GREAT GATSBY REMIX 1

To start off I find it interesting how we have a remix of what we have read so far, I didn't know what to do but then I heard Gabriel mention what he was going to do and I though immediately about Tom. So the book so far has described Tom as a "bully" so far we can see throughout the book that Tom is mean when he responds to anyone and he is always bragging about himself as if the world only evolved around him. I was just thinking what if we remixed this character to be a respectful, nice, helpful, and sweet person. How would this make a difference in the story?

EVERYTHING IS A REMIX

- Remix definition; Mix Again
- A Remix is manipulated into new kinds of creativity different from anything else.
- When people create something it's not original because they thought of it from something that they saw
- Everyone builds up from someone else
- We are all capable of creating something & we do that by getting other ideas and making them our own
- You create by doing what others do and later eventually do your own thing and slowly improve in your own way 
- You can also create by getting different things and just combining them and making them your own
- Creating something will always take work 
- When someone is creating something there is always a background to it, it started from somewhere else 
- Anyone is able to create and come up with their own REMIX ! (: 

MUSIC AS LITERATURE

I believe that we can consider music to be literature because it is a type of writing that is just expressed in a different way. We can definitely consider music literature because the lyrics put into music is imaginative and creative. It is also a form of writing that is recognized and that has artistic value all around the world. Paul Simon's was able to connect with a different culture and that is what writing does. It connects us with people all around the world and their thoughts and feelings. He created something new by collaborating and experiencing African American life and culture. Music is the same thing as reading and writing but just in a different way, everything single song has a meaning behind it just like writing does. sWe use theme, tone, etc in both music and writing. Lastly I would say that a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and  a symphony really have no difference. They all express something to someone, people may not always think the same way towards it but they all see their own meaning and it speaks to them somehow. The beautiful thing about it is that we seek from others and learn from them and that is what makes us great and the world great! (:

HELLO 2017!

Since January 2016 I have grown as a person because I have been more dedicated to getting things done and I have shown responsibility towards them as well. I can also say that I am growing as a person right now because I have committed myself into having a better attitude towards life and just enjoying what life has to offer instead of seeing every thing negatively. That is how I have grown since January 2016.
