# B-17: MG Contemporary: PROJECT: SINNERS CAN BE SAINTS

Twelve-year-old Emily Pincus decides to scientifically prove she can be a loving person even though she’s not a conservative Mennonite like most of her family. The resulting novel is a copy of her science report.

PROJECT: SINNERS CAN BE SAINTS

A science experiment by Emily Pincus

PURPOSE OF EXPERIMENT

· ~~To prove I can be a nicer person than my cousin Anna.~~

· ~~To prove my cousin Anna is an idiot.~~

· To prove I can be a loving person.

ABSTRACT

Everyone knows that Jesus never stopped talking about love which means that if you’re Christian, you should be a more loving person. That doesn’t always seem to be the case, though. The world is full of nice non-Christians (case in point: me on a good day) and jerky Jesus freaks (case in point: Anna on a bad day). This project looks at whether it’s possible to be a loving person without being a mega-Christian. I, Emily Pincus, undertook this challenge over a 31-day period. Throughout the experiment I experienced successes and failures, but if you want to know more, you’ll have to keep reading.
