Project 3





      "Illustrate a Story"








         In this story, Dawn Burke talks to her husband about keeping rats as pets in their house.  She was always disgusted of rats but when she saw her neighbors pet rat she started to like it. Eventually, she bought her own pet rat and named it Trizilla. Soon enough Dawn and her husband bought more pet rats and before they knew it, they had seventy two. They were the first rat sanctuary in the United States to have 501 C3 status. Someone said that the rats in their house have so much space and freedom that its like a "Taj Mahal" for rats. My illustration shows Mr. and Mrs. Burke's  living room. It has plenty of space and open cages on tables the way Mrs. Burke explained it. It's like a paradise for rats. This out of the ordinary couple has rats as pets because they want to show others that they are worth more then snake bate. They want to show people that rats have hearts and its wrong to mistreat them. They also show people that rats can become house pets. Dawn Burke talks about Anne, her heart rat and she explains how smart she is and how she greets guests at the door.  In my illustration the rat in the center looking at you depicts Anne, greeting the viewer into their house.
