The Chapter 3 Remix

Curiosity- Nick Caraway
Dishonest- Jordan Baker
"old sport," elaborate - Gatsby (parties?)


The interpretation of this is that in real life we tend to see dishonesty, curiosity, and elaborate but when do we see these qualities

So what is dishonest, curiosity, and elaborate towards other people is it a story of a person
I know one thing for sure it happens in real life...

 I believe that these characters are away of making us see ourselves as a character in a story because I don't know if you notice but every single person has a story the only difference it is not publish;the story such as........
-dishonest with  marriage
-getting arrested
-following your dream
- conquering the world
- becoming a dictator
- victim of bullying .................................................is all a story!

but,
 
we see this in the Great Gatsby when Nick is curious about Gatsby and Jordan is dishonest and how Gatsby likes to throw elaborate parties without knowing nothing about him and my question is why is that? I can see the connection between this book and the real life world and how everything is just a story like in real life.

The Great Gatsby Remix Chapter 1

Remix: arrangement or transformation of creativity

       In chapter one we see that the main character is Nick Caraway we see that he mentions the well judgement of his father we also notice his lack of social connections and upper class. We see that he drives to the East Egg and has dinner with her cousin Daisy and her husband Tom, we also see that the book embraces racism (white racial- group) we notice that they have dinner then at the very end we see that Nick sees Gatsby.

              " green light that mark at the end of a dock"

Remix:

          If we embrace the idea that the summary above is the way that the introduction of the book happens that way but.......what if......... if the book had a different perspective if the main character for example was Daisy and her husband Tom how would the author interpret that situation. 

What would the author create, transform, arrange from the situation and the point of view, introduction?

My Remix Idea:

A remix is to combine or edit existing materials to produce something new. My idea is a movie and events that occur for a reason. Just like remix it is an arrangement or a transformation of creativity.

Any movie that we watch has a remix:

Everything is a Remix

"Music as literature"

Yes we can consider music as literature because music has common sense and represents the different type of background and identity's that singer and artist describe to show their perspectives and different body texts; for example poetry. Poetry is a big role in music because many rappers and other types of genre use it to rhyme for example many rap songs have a lot of rhymes at the end of their verse. So if rappers use poetry in a way that they use songs to express their emotions and how they use the structure of life and course of history, it really just is literature. American Literature!
