You’ll need to write something creative—a short story, a poem, a play-like dialogue. But whatever format you choose, its language should be clearly riffing off of one of the texts we’ve read together, so far.
What do we mean by a “narrative remix”? Think of the way that the film Contempt remixes portions of The Odyssey. Jean-Luc Godard’s version doesn’t touch on *every character or plot point* from The Odyssey (there’s no Telemachus, for example!) The film copies and modifies what it wants, from the ancient poem, and leaves the rest alone.
You can do the same, with your narrative remix. In fact, you probably have to be selective—only because we are not asking you for a novel or an epic poem! Your story should be at least 1-2 pages in length. If you are using a lot of dialogue, perhaps a bit longer than 2 pages. (So: aim for at least 250-500 words!)
Here are some options/ideas to get you going (you don’t need to try all of them at once): You can place yourself inside one of the scenes from The Odyssey or Do Androids Dream?, and re-invent/retell a portion of the story from your own point of view. You can tell the story of Thoreau wandering the halls of one of the abandoned buildings or rooftops in Do Androids Dream? How would he get along with Isidore? You can bring a character or speaker (god or mortal!) from one reading into the present day, and tell a new story about that character. You can write a short sequel to one of the readings, by writing “what happens next.” You can write a play-like dialogue between one character in The Odyssey, and another figure from one of the other readings, or just bring a character from one of the stories/poems into another. Those are just a few examples of how one might “remix,” but you might have more.
