Week 1

What I would like my classmates and professor would be interested in knowing about me is I’m open-minded to new ideas and pretty creative since my major needs it in graphic design. The attitude I have about reading, writing, literature is I find it as another way of creative expressions and that it inspired me to write down in journals more often, softly about little things like my day to day mundane life but on occasion, I can write chapters carrying on about nothing but, I’m not a writer but I have an appreciation for it.

Thinking about the reading “ if you find a mouse..” made me realize how different people react and interpret things based on their morals. The reading had me thinking about my own experiences with a mouse. To cut the long story short the mouse ended up in a glue trap in the state of my panic to clam it down I knew there was nothing I could do to save it so ultimately the mouse dyed. I felt the sense of guilt like I killed the mouse itself but there was nothing I could do the reading made me realize that it’s not a silly thing to cry over. The perspective of the text had me rethinking how I handled the mouse situation. With the wife leaving the mouse snacks I could compare it to me covering up the mouse with a cup to claim it down from tweaking. Knowing that the mouse was dying made me feel helpless and connected to the characters in the sTory more with the empathy shown towards living things. As the narrator and I see it as if I was helpless and in a state of panic, you would at least like a calming stage to be in as if you were in the mouse's position.
