Very Interesting...

We took a walk around the school thinking of how we could protray what we saw through the pointof view of a PWB (Poisonwood Bible) character. I was assigned Leah, who in the book is very interested in the nature that surronds her. Here it goes.

We were only home for a week or so after we came back from the Congo, and all of a sudden we jet off to an island in the pacific. A particular school invited us to speak at their chapel about our trip to the Congo, what we learned, and what we did there. We arrived on campus and I immediatly recognized that this island is as exotic to me as the Congo was, nature wise. It was the first time that I have ever seen plants like this. There were these tall, skinny, brown stemed trees that erupted into a million long, skinny leafs. They had some kind of fruit growing up there, but I couldn't tell what in God's name it was. Noticing other types of foliage on the grounds, I particularly like the tree that had the spikey, skinny leaves. It was wierd though, it looked as if someone went around and bent every leaf in half! I didn't understand why God would do something like this. I enjoyed all of the peculiar plants, and loved the time that I spent with my father looking at all of them.
