Annunciation- workshop


Annunciation begins with a story about a girl at church that turns into a nightmare about a girl in a church. The transition from story about church to a story about rape is very subtle and well built to. It isn’t this sudden change but a slow progression. When the pastor first comes into the room he does have a very kind tone to him and we think that this is going to be a 7th heaven moment, where she tells him her fears and he helps her. Then his words sound creepy, but could be argued as otherwise. Then he sets his words to actions and it all comes together.  

I would have like to know more about the narrator. Who she is? What is this church? What’s her history with it? And maybe an explanation on what is going on. Is this something all Christians do because I’ve only seen this on TV. Similarly I would like to see what is going on in her mind during the rape. We get a very visual image of what is happening without it being graphic or grotesque, but we never see what is going on inside her head. This will give a better idea about who she is and ultimately make her a much fuller and more sympathetic character.
