=James Paul. "Last Night a Mix Tape Saved My Life."= = = =Annotation= James Paul wrote “Last Night a Mix Tape Saved My Life” with the purpose of informing people about the history of the mix tape. He also tries to persuade the reader of the importance of the mix tape and that it could be making a comeback. Paul does this by explaining the meaning behind the mix tape. It is not just a medium. It is a way of expressing emotion. It is a way of handling music in a homemade way. Paul says that the mix tape allows the user to record and edit and rerecord. He gives examples of both older and more modern musicians who used the mix tape.

Because it has been phasing out, the uniqueness of the cassette tape has a unique quality that some companies see the potential in. The lower quality of music makes it feel cozier, at home. It can create moments. This could cause a comeback. Paul celebrates the history of the mix tape and its special meanings and uses this celebration to make the reader get a feeling of nostalgia or spark curiosity. He hopes for a rise in interest in cassettes and bets that we have not seen the last of them.
