Empathy Map by Liliana Beard https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl A Complicated Love Story Set in Space - Shaun David Hutchinson en-us 2021-01-24 18:52:38 UTC 2021-01-24 20:01:09 UTC hello@padlet.com WHO are we empathizing with? beardliliana https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119415770 The main character of the story and from whom we are hearing the story told is Noa North. He is from Seattle and he is now stuck in space. A character named DJ is also in the same boat (no pun intended); neither of them understand how or why they got there.]]> 2021-01-24 19:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119415770 What do they need to DO? beardliliana https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119420405 Initially, the main goal is to simply figure out how and why they ended up in space. They're not even entirely sure how long it has been since they left Earth. Another main mission is to try not to die.]]> 2021-01-24 19:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119420405 What do they SEE? beardliliana https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119430114 The main settings are space and the ship they end up staying on. There are not many places they have the opportunity to go in this setting. They are surrounded by stars with no end in sight. ]]> 2021-01-24 19:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119430114 What do they SAY? beardliliana https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119430351 Noa is a rather witty person and this translates to when he speaks. He also dives deeply into conversations; even at the very beginning, he already asks DJ whether he has ever been in love and other hard-hitting questions. Especially being stuck on a spaceship with strangers, these conversations will happen inevitably. ]]> 2021-01-24 19:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119430351 What do they DO? beardliliana https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119430843 Noa largely fawns over DJ and complains about the situation they are in. His complains are valid, though, considering all the uncertainties. For instance, towards the beginning he actually dies and DJ brings him back to life using a healthcare system they have on the ship. Dying and coming back to life is understandably traumatic for someone and it makes sense why that person might have negative tendencies. They also combat aliens that try to infiltrate the ship and end up attending an intergalactic school.]]> 2021-01-24 19:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119430843 What do they HEAR? beardliliana https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119431430 They hear each other talk; they hear the emptiness of space. They hear the sounds of the machinery of the ship. ]]> 2021-01-24 19:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119431430 What do they THINK and FEEL? beardliliana https://padlet.com/beardliliana/wgf1gpj0azmmx1nl/wish/1119431661 PAINS: -Noa is unsure if DJ'S feelings for him are reciprocated.

GAINS:
-His relationship with DJ blossoming
-Noa gets another chance at life.
