Everything Is A Remix

As human beings I don’t think we realize how many times we remix something throughout our daily lives. We may even be doing it subconsciously and if we think about it we truly never have any ideas that are genuinely and truly original. When Salman Rushdie was writing Haroun And The Sea Of Stories he probably unknowingly and knowingly had taken ideas from other works he had seen and transformed it into something of his own. The structure of the story is much like any other children’s book. There’s a problem and to character goes on a long eventful journey to battle a villain and fix the problem. Many many books out there in the world are like this, but Rushdie took the general idea and applied it to make something unique to him and his writing.
