What It Means

Reed Richards

Stanford, California: Dialogue Foundation, Summer 2013

Fiction, Short Story
Short stories, American--Mormon authors;
A girl named Charlene wonders about what it means to be unvirtuous, the crime so vaguely talked about by parents and in Sunday school classes. She observes the behavior of the neighbor boy's mother, who dresses up and goes to bars all night long, then stumbles home drunk in the morning. She also thinks about the drunken behavior of her uncle and her cousin's husband. After looking in the doorway of a bar to try to figure out what besides drinking happens inside, she resolves to always be virtuous even though she still doesn't know what it means.
