I have looked over your advice and now I have figured out what I am going to do.
I have decided to do a short story instead of a sculpture. The story is going to be about a rabit that gets tested on and experimented on. It will be in the point of view of the rabit. It will be about a scientist buying the rabit from the store then taking him back to the lab and doing all sorts of horrific things to the poor rabit. Everything will be in perspective of the rabbit so the audience will actually feel what the animal feels. The audience will hear the rabits thoughts, fears, and pains.

Hi Erica,
ReplyDeleteYour idea for a short story sounds interesting. I would encourage you to research how scientists in real life go about A-acquiring animals for their research and B-what kind of experiments they do. I don't think they get them at a store, and they don't just test on them without reason.
Of course the protagonist will be a rabbit, but naturally human readers will want to empathize at first with the human. It's important to help us connect with the rabbit's point of view by not making the enemy (human) into a caricature.
