Martin Luther King jr.

“I have a dream speech”

-       I want to trace the multiple texts he borrowed from

For years, he had spoken about dreams, quoted from "My Country, 'Tis of Thee", and referred extensively to the Bible. The idea of constitutional rights as an "unfulfilled promise" was first thought of by Clearence Jones years,  also The closing passage from King's speech partially resembles Archibald Carey, Jr.'s address to the 1952 Republican National Convention.  King also was said to have built on Prathia Hall’s speech at the site of a burned-down African American church in Terrell County, Georgia on September 1962, in which she used the used the phrase "I have a dream"

Family Guy

References, Peter as the bumbling overweight Dad (Homer Simpson, Jackie Gleanson on The Honeymooners, Fred Flinstone)- The bumbling man and/or dad—if you’ve watched a sitcom lately you have an idea of who he might be. Doug from the sitcom The King of Queens, Jim from “According to Jim”, Homer Simpson the hit show “The Simpsons” and Fred Flinstone from “The Flinstones”. These i’m sure are all familiar names. He almost always does something wrong every episode; his most common slipups include lying, forgetting, breaking, ruining dinner, or saying the wrong thing.  The wife or woman is often the complete opposite. Smart as ever, well balanced and all-knowing.  She comes through the door with kids and groceries in hand to come to a "dad" that couldn’t even handle the simple task of putting the lasagna in the oven to heat up (the stupid male let it sit out on the counter, fed it to the dog, used it as a chair cushion—the more absurdly moronic the better).  He is chided, belittled, and given a kiss—she still loves her husband even if he is a stupid man.

Different people have their own interpretation on what writing is to be. Some say it's a profession while others say its a process of using the alphabetical letters to create desired words and texts to express an idea or personal thoughts.
where as a remix is known as the reformation/remodeling of an existing piece of media or an individuals original idea/work. It is impossible to have a remix without first having some existing form of media/work. Remixing has been going on since the beginning of recorded sound in the 1940's and the 1950's.
There is a connection between the two being that many if not all of the writings today are remixed thoughts of someones ideas. Writers these days seem to get inspiration or ideas from the everyday things around them which, are the original ideas of brilliant minds that have paved the way for such persons who follow them up. At the end of this first year composition class i expect to have improved writing skills as well as enhanced and developed thoughts on writing, while understanding having to use a variety of technologies to address a range of audiences along  with learning many different styles of writing. furthermore i expect to regularly apply citation conventions in my work. Finally i hope to learn how to take and act upon productive feedback as well give it, along with being able to formulate a writing project through using multiple drafts. Once this course is completed i plan to would have gained  a better understanding of how to write and  be able to decipher different types of genre, along with being able to use different strategies such as response, critique and interpretation, overall enhancing my writing skills helping to make me a better student.
