Through the Eyes of Nathan

Today in class, we tried to step into the shoes of one of the characters from Poison Wood Bible. Then we took a stroll through our school and then tried to write a short narrative on what they would say if they saw our school. I was assigned the character of Nathan, the father of the four daughters in the story.

"We finally arrived at the God forsaken island. Orlenna insisted we take a tour of the new school that we were going to enroll our children in. The place was a disaster. I could clearly see why God sent me here. First off, it isn't a required course to memorise scriptures from the Bible. That itself is a sin. We as people have to show our deep devotion to God by reciting passages and scriptures from the Bible.
Many of the kids don't even say grace when they eat and their schedule only has chapel once or even none a week. I can't enroll my daughter into a religiously weak school. If they don't go to chapel everyday they'll end up in Lucifer's kingdom and burn for eternity. Maybe I could change the ways of this school and get most of these kids on their way to enlightenment."
