Cas Journal Entry – Sturgeon

In the weeks of late I have worked closely with Ms. Fenny in preparation of my latest literary construct as a feature in my school’s literary journal titled “the sturgeon.” My tale involved a mixture of communicative techniques as a way of blending mediums for the advancement of multimedia projects as literature. In free verse poetry, prose, scripted dialogue, cartoon and sequential art formats, I made a seven part device for communicating the importance of being able to differentiate life from autopilot mode, actually sniffing flowers or just passing through their general area. Revolving around a ventriloquist, I give him this confusion and despair after his wife leaves him to his lifelong companion “the dummy,” and in freezing weather I give him the decision of what is more important being alive or living for something. People should have more depth to their lives than surviving from day to day, and I think that is important to remind my fellow humans of every now and again. Sometimes I feel myself going through the motions to pass the days and do my work, and there is nothing fulfilling in that to me. I want my days to mean something, and I see this as a goal that all people should have
In addition to that, I have agreed that under her supervision, I will be helping to assemble the actual sturgeon copies using a small press binding machine, which will be an useful skill to have for someone determined to be published someday. I plan to ask Ms. Fenny if she would assume the role of my supervisor for the creative writing that I do in the club. This is not because I feel Mr. Arcenas is not capable or comfortable to work with, but I have a good working relationship with Ms. Fenny and that level of communication and familiarity from our previous interactions I feel is crucial to achieving my goals in this activity.
