A Temple of the Holy Ghost

The story “A Temple of the Holy Ghost” was very confusing and left me in bewilderment. At first I thought the story was going to be about these two demon possessed girls, especially how the described the laughter of theses girls, it almost seemed demonic and me putting the title together with what I was reading I thought it was about an exorcism that was going to happen in Church. But as I began to read I saw that it was about these two teenage girls that are very strange and weird in my opinion. I became much dumfounded based on how the story began to unfold. What I got from it was that there were two sisters that were very hard to control or discipline. These girls almost seem like a couple of girls I know from back home, always giggling at stupid things, don’t know 1+1 to save their lives and the biggest thing they have in common with the girls back home is that they a very boy crazy. Most girls around there age from my neighborhood that are that boy crazy like they are usually barley make it through high school and get pregnant before the option of college could come up for them. It was really hard to follow what was going on in the story, one thing that really confused me is that the parents sort of could figure out that these young girls were boy crazy and still invited two boys from the neighborhood to show them a good time. It was as though that they were willing to do anything to get rid or please these girls because they were just too unbearable to be around so they decided to dump them off to two country teenage boys. I really didn’t like this story so much, and didn’t get much about it but a memory of how young girls in my neighborhood are and how crazy they are. Hopefully in class we could dissect this piece of literature and figure out what is really going on. I will admit there were some parts that were sort of funny, and I guess the strangeness of the story kind of kindled and interest and wanting to know more about these girls and what was the author’s purpose for writing a story like this one, weird could be good sometimes I guess if it has a prupose.
