Abstract:
Flocks is a humorous story about imaginary birds. The story was created when my husband and I visited the New England states. While visiting a donut restaurant a seagull seemed out of his elements away from the shore. Walking around the parking lot waiting for someone to feed him . We also visited Nantucket Island with their cobblestone streets. We were impressed of the trash barrels that lined the highways through Massachusetts to keep their state clean. News events and a talk show host influenced the story, and a local newswoman would tell us everyday on the morning news to have a groovy day. These events led me to write about Buster bird, his family and friends.
