Analysis:
I chose to create my remix based on a dark romance type of plot because I felt that
it was the best plot twist that could have been put in place for this specific story. I
chose to change the role of the story from Sonny’s brother to Sonny’s sister whom
I named Isabella because I felt that changing the gender would play a great role in
the dark fantasy route I wanted to take for my remix. Since Sonnys brother was
never mentioned by name in the story, I named his now sister Isabella because I
didn’t have the original name of his brother to be able to put a spin on it. I chose to
end the story with the death of both Creole and Isabella towards the end because I
felt that it created the best twisted ending for a dark romance type of theme that I
was going for in my remix.
Conclusion:
My remix still relates to the original text in certain ways. For example, the story is
still revolving around Sonny going to jail but instead of it being based on a hate of
Sonnys brother towards the influence of his friend Creole it is something instead
that his sister seems to be attracted to. The difference is in the feeling and gender
of Sonnys sibling towards his friend. My remix allowed me to be able to appreciate
the original text and its meaning because it gives me a more of a creative
understanding rather than just a basic understanding of what the author wrote
originally for his theme.
