Exercise 3

God in Hawaii
As the tourist drives back up the hill toward the main road, he sees a small directional sign that says "Painted Church." He follows its arrow and arrives at a tiny, white, wooden structure. The church sits on a grassy hillside, with a small cemetery spreading out below. He ascends the wooden stairs of the church and walks in. The interior is a "tropical Gothic." Ten small windows have pointed Gothic arches. The wooden pillars look like candy canes, painted with red and white swirls; their tops turn into palm trees with fronds like painted feathers on the pastel sky on the ceiling. Behind the altar is a mural of Gothic arches, stretching back into an imaginary distance, creating the pretense of a European Cathedral. On one side wall, Saint Francis experiences a vision of Jesus on the cross. In another painting, Jesus is being tempted by Satan. The other wall shows a man on his deathbed, his face bathed in heavenly light.
