Outcast

'The Outcast'The Outcast is about living our everyday lives in pursuit of happiness--but always in the wrong places. Jennica, the main character, is a self-loathing and absorbed teenager, who sees the wrong doings of others. She is in pursuit of the acceptance of others even when she failed to accept herself. She narrates every aspect of her life in a matter-of-fact way to show her innocence. At the end of the novel, she comes to the realization that she was not an outcast as she believed. She finally settled into a life of bliss because of her acceptance of who she truly was -- 'one chosen by God.'Jennica uses wide-ranging quotations to represent the author's use of them as personal mantra. It also represents the life of Christ as an outcast on earth, yet a representative of God--a clear indication of our need to be accepted by people, but lacking heaven's backing.
