Cliché scenario

One man, one woman, and four daughters dedicated to one of the most harsh and intense environment in the world to spread the belief of Christianity. The thing that makes the story more intriguing than it seems is the fact that these six people have totally distinct personalities and comments on their mission to Congo. It is like those movies where a group a people are stranded on an island, and with different personalities they have to learn to co-exist in a different environment and learn throughout the struggle. It is kind of cliché of the characteristics of each of the five girls, the mother accepts every event from her husband; Rachel the beauty queen, questioning why she couldn’t have a normal teen life; Ruth, a five year old that loves adventure; Leah, fourteen year old who is as religious as her father; Leah’s twin Adah, cripple and mute, but extremely intelligent, really observant; and lastly the Father, Nathan Price, who is like the leader of this group, aggressive and stubborn. Overall, I just find this fiction novel really cliché in how the writer sets up each character.
