With the inspiration of Candide and my life for past 3 weeks I have begun my latest book: a satire about the school's punishment of the Vienne insident.
Ok, so here's what I could use some help on before I tell you what I've got so far. I need a name similar to or derived from that of a nazi camp. Then I need a name that means antichrist and condenmed one, oh and Jesus.
So the story is told in third person from basically my point of view. The main girl has spent 7 years in a catholic school where she has brainwashed into believing she was special because she had been permitted to enter this christian community. Basically she makes it to her senior year where she messes up and quickly her world begings to crumble around her. First her best friend is crusified (Kevin, though I'm not sure I'm going to take it to this extreme) and she begings to see that there really is no community of caring people around her. But when she tries to escape her life is also put on the line.
Here's a little taste:
"As a protasant in a Catholic high school, (the girls who's name means condemned) had been taught that she was part of a community, and since she was selected to join this elite, educational, Chirstian group she sould always feel special and privilaged. The community had given her knowlege in math, english, history, science, Catholic religion, and football. She had even begun to accept that mandated community service would bring about a joyous and subservient feeling which was necassary for true happiness. As a child still in her unenlightened years she had quickly learned to accept what she was taught as undisputable truth. Too many questions indicated ungratefulness for all that had been given to you. But as a curious child the girl had once expressed her confusion concerning her being forbidden to participate with the rest of her brothers and sisters for the eucharist during the mass. The poor child simply thought she was being punished for not being worthy enough and was therefore forced to sit in embarrasment alone during communion. The teacher was so horrified and confused that she sent the girl to Father (some name meaning Satan or antichrist)'s office. "
Ok so a rough start, but I promise it's gonna be hillarious. I'll keep you guys posted. Let me know what you think!
