Hello Readers,
" Again," the teacher shouted. Bubble blowing class had started, but there was a weird distraction. It looked like what the myths had said. A "hoomun."
" But there's a... a.. a hoomun!" I announced. Everyone in the class turned to look at the hoomun while I made a swim for it. I swam all the way back to the shore where there were a bunch of humans looking at me and pointing. Humans? How did I know that it's pronounced like that and not according to that old myth? Well, maybe it's because I was one. I pulled off my costume and walked on the beach where the humans were posting and live streaming the video.
" I already have 1000 viewers watching my live stream of facebook!" one man shouted.
" Well I have 3000!" another man countered.
And just like that, I was back. After 3 long years of research and being a whale, I had figured out the way to communicate with beluga whales. The key was not to find them but to be them. Also, when I discovered their language, they called themselves "see canareese" which I thought would be easy to be known by humans as sea canaries.
Meanwhile....
- Whale perspective (3rd person):
" Again," the teacher shouted. Bubble blowing class had started, but suddenly Gef had shouted about some myth of a hoomun being there:
" But there's a... a.. a hoomun!" Gef announced. Everyone in the class started to stare at the hoomun and tried to figure out what was going on. After a while, once everyone had observed the hoomun and made inquiries the canareese discovered that Gef was gone!
3 years later....
It was the day of Gef's memorial. Everyone paid their respects to the passed whale, Gef and everyone was sad because Gef brought a perspective to our community that seemed like a different world. Like a hoomun world..... Gef was a human??
In this journal entry I will use Costa's house of questioning to create a story about this image:
