CHAPTER 1 REMIX

I felt that chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby is really important and it feels like a beginning of a movie. The characters that meet fell larger than life and kinda fake almost that everyone has something to hide and isn't who they actually say they are. The setting of this story feels like factions almost about how fancy everyone is and how nice their car or house is. I don't really understand why there is this almost wannabe so much better than everyone else type of vibe that is just kind of annoying.

THE GREAT GATSBY NOTES

with out this i am nothing" f scott fitzgerald loves writing

in the author's eyes he wanted to tell a great story

was a hard worker and it took 3 years to write it

gally profs 

every readers response to a work of fiction is always different

a author should write for the generation 

epigraph-a quote that comes at the beginning of the book that gives you a hint about the story

our narrator doesn't judge people and had a good relationship with his dad

an inyimate revelation was quivering on the horizon

he doesnt like Gatsby's life style

midas and morgan and maecenas- king midas turned every thing  he touches to gold

REMIX

What I want to do with my remix is mix music lyrics titles and musicians with normal everyday writing.

So we were talking about remixes but sometime it doesn't fit. I feel like sometimes your the hammer and sometimes your the nail. Last week we talked about misery and hope and music always come to me when those 2 subjects come up. Whether your a punk rocker, a metal head, a pop goddess, or a rapper 1 thing that all those people have in common is that they have issues. Issues can make the best music because it has feelings and is relate-able. Songs like misey loves my company, the other side,breaking the habit and so many others have these dark subjects but also talk about hope. The book Of Mice And Men is great but for me it is also a band. The lead sing of the band with the same name was super inspired by John Steinbeck's work that he decide for that to be the name of his band. I feel that the book has so many side to it that it is almost crazy. I feel the George is thinking that someone should have killed Lenny while they had the chance so he wouldn't be a problem but he also sees something in Lenny a kind of light or gentleness that makes him care for Lenny. Lenny him self is half the time getting away with murder or trying to find his last resort. George just doesn't want every one to see Lenny's bones exposed or else they are dead! The story  have themes of faith and trying be find out where you are going to be in the next 3 or 4 years in your life. Misery and hope can kind of numb you until you just faint because some people don't know how to get our of misery which makes them depressed or if they are so involved with hope that they become psycho. Genres are kind of pointless but they also serve a point. I don't care about you if you don't like what i like or read what i read we are all different and thats ok. It doesn't matter if you prefer Metallica over Slipknot or Nirvana or The Beatles it doesn't matter.

Notes for class

genre- the category of creative works that is unique to a time and place

Romantics wanted people to be the focus in stories while transadentalists wanted to go beyond

Writers write about things that are happening around them

More creative writing came during the industrial revolution 

Modern authors thought that the world was new and confusing 

EVERYTHING IS A REMIX

music,film,tech

other musicians using their tones to use in different music

remix-take an already existing work and make it something new

we also lost what we know as creativity

MUSIC AS LITERATURE

I feel that music should be considered as literature because music can move people and change people's opinions on topics just like a book or any other form of literature. The difference between a novel and a poem is that a novel is longer and has more details while a poem rhymes and is arranged differently. The difference between a poem and a rap is that a poem is more meaningful while a rap can mean many different things and compares things to other things. The difference between a rap and a song is that a song has a structure while a rap is more free flowing. The difference between a song and a opera is that a song can not just mean singing which is the main reason for opera. The difference between a opera and a symphony is that one uses voice and the other uses instruments.
