Revelations...

I need to write this down before I forget! I was just reading a great book that is going to give me soooo much information for my essay it's unreal, but anyway, it got me thinking more about engaging the audience in an imaginative way rather than laying out rules on how to be ethical. The book was stating that this DOESN'T work, though they only provided one anecdotal piece of evidence to back this claim up. Either way, it's made me think about my own story. What if, and this is a big IF, my friendly vegan woodland creature ISN'T a friendly vegan woodland creature at all. What if the creature is used as a mirror. The creature IS the girl. The creature loves animals, and specifically her, but he (or she) intends to eat her. This will make for a more interesting story AND will allow for a scenario in which the reader can relate easily to the concepts I'm trying to convey. The creature could perhaps put her in a cage and plan to eat her, use her hair to make something, I don't know! Either way, some examples should be provided, and the little girl will always say NO YOU CAN'T EAT ME or NO YOU CAN'T TAKE MY HAIR etc. The creature could then learn from this experience and let her go, and then the little girl could reflect on her own experiences. It will force her into thinking about the way she views animals.

Yeah!?

I don't know about this. I'll be keeping it in mind for when I get back to work tomorrow though. I need to consult with somebody about it!
