  Taking a look at remixing information from different sources, like a photo and a caption from a book, to make a new comment on a subject, it's time to give an example below.


          Take this image of James R. Jones, a grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. When paired with the quote, from Cedar Crossing, the nonchalant nature of a man calmly driving to a hate rally is paired with the nostalgia of an old Texan. This juxtaposition between the hatred for another man and the comfort of "the good old days" conjures up a disturbing feeling.


"Everyone knew the others, them Ku Kluxers, them clan members would get together out in the dark of night and talk about the good old days and to plan forays agin' they didn't think was upholding the old ways." (Busby, 22)
