Bienvenid@s to a new series of blog posts called CULTURE CLASH
that will focus on the cultural differences perceived by international staff
and volunteers at OYE!
For this first entry, visit the link to the blog of OYE staff member Michael Solis for a short story entitled “The Prophet of Tela.” The piece
is an example of using dialogue in short stories, which was the most recent
assignment for the youth of Revista Jóvenes (OYE’s youth magazine) in their 8-week creative writing seminar.
This week, OYE youth are writing a dialogue between two characters, one of whom
is upset because he or she knows something about the other character that the
other character does not yet realize. Stay tuned for more short stories in
Spanish directly from OYE youth!
The piece, “The Prophet of Tela,” is based on a true story
and speaks to the impact of religious indoctrination on Honduran youth. Read, think, and leave comments! Your thoughts are welcome!
