Since Sonnys brother was<br>never mentioned by name in the story, I named his now sister Isabella because I<br>didn\u2019t have the original name of his brother to be able to put a spin on it. I chose to<br>end the story with the death of both Creole and Isabella towards the end because I<br>felt that it created the best twisted ending for a dark romance type of theme that I<br>was going for in my remix.<br>Conclusion:<br>My remix still relates to the original text in certain ways. For example, the story is<br>still revolving around Sonny going to jail but instead of it being based on a hate of<br>Sonnys brother towards the influence of his friend Creole it is something instead<br>that his sister seems to be attracted to. The difference is in the feeling and gender<br>of Sonnys sibling towards his friend. My remix allowed me to be able to appreciate<br>the original text and its meaning because it gives me a more of a creative<br>understanding rather than just a basic understanding of what the author wrote<br>originally for his theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analysis:I chose to create my remix based on a dark romance type of plot because I felt thatit was the best plot twist that could have been put in place for this specific story.
