Concept for Project #1

The idea for the first project is using the rodents who do tasks idea. For project one, we will learn how the mouse (the main character) changes from an ordinary city rodent to a trained professional.

The story structure will be like this:

- The mouse will be ordinary at first, seemingly not bothered by the world.
- The mouse is then picked up and carried off
- The mouse spends some time in a cage
- The mouse then spends some time on a lab table, being poked and prodded.
- After time appears to pass (with the fading of objects and perhaps a physical test or two), the mouse is ready
- In the end, the mouse turns towards us, with cleaning supplies in hand, ready to perform its task.

Other characters may include a couple hands or feet, and any objects that the mouse ends up interacting with. The theme is probably a mix of several things... testing the use of animal usefulness and intelligence, long-lasting unemployment for humanity (perhaps), and as much humor as I can pack in along the way.

As for an idea for the whole semester, different kinds of rodents will perform tasks, in an attempt to make the life of humans easier. Events like maybe human protests for animals taking their jobs may crop up along the way, along with other elements.
