Day 38: FAVORITE NARRATIVE

In today's "power-critique", My favorite piece was done by Erika Frost. Her piece was a narrative about a young girl named Jenni. I should be more careful...Not a girl named Jenni, but a Half-Girl, Half-Cat, named Jenni. The piece was done in an almost-documentary-like style, with self-filmed interviews about life as a cat/girl, the daily struggles it entails, and her social perception. From her interactions with her roommates (mad at her for clawing the couch), to her feeble attempts to climb trees (referring to her often human limitation), to her minor difficulties with bike-riding, the interviews contained only what was necessary, and nothing that shouldn't have been included, not overdoing any aspect. The subtle comedy throughout the whole piece had me cracking up throughout the entirety of the video, leaving the most lasting impact. It sort of reminded me of a more childish version of a monty-python skit. 
Hats Off!
