Blog Post #14 Everything Is a Remix

I see the primary thesis of “Everything is a Remix” as Ferguson explaining that almost everything we see is not original, but a work of art inspired by or even a direct copy of an existing piece. Remixing is “a piece of media which has been altered or contorted from its original state by adding, removing, and changing pieces of the item.” Ferguson’s concept of remixing connects to our understanding of rhetoric because, we’ve learned that rhetoric is someone’s way of persuading or getting their ideas out to people in the most effective way possible.
