The rise of the Franken- stuffy’s, a Humanities project.

So this was a project that i did in my humanities class, but it was kinda a 2 part project. In the first part of this project was focusing on reading the book leviathan and doing a bit of a book review. The second part of this project then sewing a real franken stuffy out of stuffy parts into a weird looking stuffy. Once we had done this we had to write a story with our franken stuffy. We then made this into a video. 

So the book leviathan is a steampunk book themed around the first world war with all of the great powers and the other country’s that were in that awful war. So in the book the two sides of the war are also in a little bit of a ideological divide with Austro-Hungary and Germany using metal war ships and Britain using genetically modified creatures to wage their war, so for example one of the main characters in the book Daren (a girl disguised as a boy so that she could join the military because girls were not allowed in the military at the time) and the air ship that she is on is a giant flying genetically modified whale. So we had to read this book and do a book report on this book and talk with some group mates every 6 chapters or so. I personally though this book was awful. I really like history and i did not really like the way that this book changed history. I know that Britain did not use flying whales during world war one and i do not like the way that this book changed history. It also has a real steam-punk vibe and i don’t really like that but if you do like steam-punk you can really do better. 

The second part of this project we had to start making a character for our story’s. So i went a very different direction from my first character draft to what i went with for my final project. I will include the work below but it makes no sense as to how all of the different documents are related because of how much my ideas changed. So my first draft was kinda a bad guy who wants to destroy the world because of a bad childhood, but then i realized that this has been done a thousand times and i wanted to do something else because i wanted to do some things kind of unlike. So what i changed the project into for my next draft was a close to normal American man who is a nuclear physicist in the 1950s in the cold war against the soviet union, but there is a twist and that is that this scientist is a alien disguised as a human working for the American government with good intentions and when aliens try to invade earth he has to go to the soviet union to work with their scientists to make a nuke and nuke the alien invaders.
