For my writing remix, I chose to do a painting.  The painting that I did is directed towards a young audience.  I chose this type of audience because they would get the most out of it and be able to relate to it more than an adult audience.  In my origonal piece of writing, I was directing my paper towards a grown up audience.  Now the remix is directed towards an audience of children.
The painting is of the book fairy.  She would leave books under the pillows of one of my siblings every Sunday.  She had a significant role in my early reading life and how I developed as a reader.  I hope that as people see my painting, they will realize how lucky they are to have a good reading upbringing and they will continue to love reading and experience new genres.  The purpose of my origonal paper was to inform people of how I started reading and why I love it so much.  Now, the purpose is to encourage people to learn to love reading and continue to read throughout their lives.
The attitude of my painting is fun.  It is not meant to be some serious, boring painting that nobody will get anything out of.  It is meant to be fun to look at and to show people how much reading has an impact in your entire life.
I took a non fiction paper and turned it into a fantasy painting that was of a fairy.  This greatly affected the way people looked at my reading story because it was a new and entertaining way to think about it. Originally, my paper was not meant to entertain anybody, just to inform them on how I started reading and how that affected my life.  Now, the painting is meant to entertain people and encouraged them to read more.  I hope that it also shows them what an important role reading have in the lives of everyone.

The poem on the side says:

You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels
and coffers of gold.
Richer than you
I will always be-
I had a mother who read to me
