Can you give examples of characters in strict catholic school stories?

Well, a common theme is religious devotion. Students are taught to have a deep faith in Catholic teachings. For example, they might have daily prayers and religious studies. Another is the struggle between individual desires and the school's strict code. Some students may want to be more modern in their thinking or behavior but have to conform to the traditional ways of the school. And there's often the theme of redemption. If a student makes a mistake, they are given the chance to repent and improve through the religious and moral guidance of the school.

One example could be a miraculous event that took place in the school, like a student recovering from a serious illness after the whole school prayed for them. Another could be a story of a teacher who made a huge impact on a difficult student's life through love and religious guidance.

Sure. There could be the big mob boss who always has a flashy watch on his wrist, symbolizing his wealth and power. He's the one who calls the shots and is often involved in the watch - related deals.

Sure. There was a time in my catholic school when a student accidentally let a goat loose during a nativity play rehearsal. The goat ran all over the stage, knocking down the manger and scattering the fake hay everywhere. It was chaos but also hilarious.

One common punishment story is that students who were late might have to stand in the corner for a certain amount of time. It was a way to make them feel embarrassed and also teach them the importance of punctuality.

Sure. There was a student who brought his pet frog to school in his pocket. During class, the frog hopped out and created chaos. The nun teaching the class was so startled that she jumped on a chair. It was quite a sight and a story that everyone remembered for a long time.

Since I'm not familiar with this novel, the main characters might be a young student who is new to the Catholic school and is trying to adapt to its ways. There could also be an experienced teacher who has been in the school for a long time and has seen many generations of students. Or perhaps a priest who plays an important role in guiding the spiritual growth of the students.

Some top stories in ACMS Middle School could be related to cultural events. For instance, if the school organized a very successful multicultural day where students from different backgrounds showcased their cultures. Also, if there was a major fundraising event in the school for a good cause, like helping a local charity or building facilities in a poor area, that could be a top story. In addition, if a group of students got selected for a national or international academic competition, it would be a great story.

Sure. One example is when two mean girl groups fight over who gets to be the 'queen bee' of the school. They'll spread nasty rumors about each other and try to turn other students against their rivals. Another is when a mean girl is jealous of a nice girl's relationship with a popular boy. So she'll try to break them up by lying to both of them.

In big city stories, the office janitor who always has a strange joke or riddle to tell can be a funny character. He might pop up when you least expect it and startle you with his corny humor. Also, the buskers who play the most unexpected instruments, like a didgeridoo in the middle of a busy shopping street, are really funny. And don't forget the tourists who are so obviously out of place, taking pictures of everything and getting in everyone's way in their eagerness to soak up the big city experience.
