at our school, we walked throughout our campus for about 15 minutes and then were told to describe the campus through the eyes of one of the characters' from the poisonwood bible. mine person was nathan, and he was hard but easy at the same time. i had a hard time because he's not one of the narrators in the book, so i don't really know what his "voice" sounds like. but, at the same time, that was the easy part, cause i could write it the way i thought his voice was.
the school we went to today was very nice at the beginning. the campus is lucious green and beautiful. the students must have a wonderful time learning in this environment. at twenty-five past the hour, the campus filled with high school students. that' when things started going downhill. the students obviously had a dress code of some sort, because i saw no knees and only certain colored shirts. but, it was not a typical christian school. i expected uniforms--not a dress code, and i was quite disappointed. another thing i disliked was the fact that the main building on the campus was called cooke hall, and it was all the techers' offices and their lounge. the chapel was very far away, and i think it should have been right where cooke hall was situated--the main building on campus. the students spoke fouly and gave me weird looks because they knew i didn't fit in--just like the kids in the congo.
i thought it was going to be different, but it was really quite the same.
okay, that's it from nathan's point of view...
