From the very start of the module, I started collecting text; song lyrics, poetry, quotes from tv shows and films, even quotes from conversations around me in real life. The more lines I collected, the better they seemed to fit together, and the harder it seemed to interject lines I created myself. I therefore made the decision to create my text using predominantly other people’s words.
