Review
“The Churchies” is about a story of four well to do high school senior girls. They contribute heavily to their small town, where everyone knows everyone. The girls dream to go to college together and to live on the beaches of, Mexico, Florida, or Costa Rica. The disordering event is that they must steal the money to fund their college and beach living. The girls end up getting what they want via robbing a bank and flee to Costa Rica.
Critique
I enjoyed this story. The writer held my attention by setting up the figure of a “goody-two-shoe” pack of girls, who eventually rob a bank; the biggest twist of all. The writer also does a good job of providing a background for the girls and their lifestyle. As well as good character background, I feel the writer accomplishes in establishing the disordering event. With the D.E. in mind, I enjoyed reading how the girls become criminals as they steal from the town that they serve. Overall, “The Churchies” was a good read. However, if you (writer) plan to revise this piece, I’d like to see some more action during the bank scene; some of the scene doesn’t seem believable, i.e. the girls having easy access to the bank’s keys and alarm codes. As the reader I’d like to know if the girls’ crime ever caught up with them.
