the Rat in My Room targets today’s resurgence of ignorant-based fear. Which shows shallow ignorant thoughts and prejudices. The connection between the message and the medium is the symbolism of the childlike stubbornness of fear-based ignorance/hatred. to further educate and stop this cycle. It is said one must educate individuals early in life before these ignorant beliefs become ingrained in adulthood.

“At this moment, I made up my mind that all creatures deserve a friend, a fluffy blanket, and something to light up the night. for someone who cares is someone who shares.

All along, I misunderstood him and was confused by my fears, imagine if I never stopped this, I would never have gained a dear friend.

Now that I have realized the silliness of my fears, I might even become friends with a toad before the year’s end”
