We had to pick one of the characters in The Poisonwood Bible and describe our campus using the point of view of our selected character based off a quote we selected. This is what I wrote:
"Already I was heavy-hearted in my sould for the flush commodes and machine-washed clothes and other simple things in life I have took for granite" (23).
The clean, green grass was trimmed on either side of the winding path that took me through this place. The sun was high in the sky. I could feel my fantasmic, fair skin slowly burning under its unforgiving rays. I took shelter under a giant tree, only to have it shower me with its awful, filthy leaves. The leaves entangeld in my beautiful blonde hair and I desperately tried to weed out each invading speck. There were a few kids talking and laughing a few feet away. They seemed to not even care that one of the girls was wearing a purple blouse with a weird pair of shorts. I was shocked to smithereens. A fire was beating inside of me as I desperately tried to control my urge to yell at her for being so incredible dumb. Despite the dirtyness and untidyness of the surroundings, the building surrounding this place were amazing. They were built from brick and stone and were two-stories high. I rushed towards a magnificient, white building to my right. I couldn't wait to leaf that campus.
