Writing is a way of expressing yourself through words. It is a visual representation of language and thoughts that are put down on paper. Many people use writing as a way to express themselves with out verbally saying it out loud. Some find it easier to be expressive this way and some do not. Writing is just a way of communicating to an audience. A remix is something that is already created but then it is either recreated or there are additions added to it. An example of a remix we used in class was the iPod. It started off with the scroll wheel and over the years it has developed into a more high tech version with a touch screen, more storage, the size of the iPod itself, and the style of it. There is a relationship between writing and remixes and it is that neither one of them are original. What people write will be different from someone else but at the same time they might share the same ideas, which can keep it from being original. When you remix something, you are creating something new from what its original value. My expectation for this course is that I hope it is as fun and enjoyable as it seems and I hope to gain better writing skills throughout this semester. I expect that in each assignment we do, I gain a better understanding of writing. At the end of this course, I hope to gain a better understanding on different writing tools, how to approach different audiences and understanding how to word my thoughts to capture that particular audience, and I hope to become a better writer as well.
