the oddly shaped building is scenery in Pumpkin Patch. "It’s an old church, an unpainted, one-room affair, a monument to the hard toils and simple, humble devotion of the pioneer-folk who hand-built it. Recently the Cow-In-A-Box corporation bought it and turned it into a burger stand. Son Of God hangs from the roof, offering salvation and condiments to all.[p]This late in the afternoon, there’s something disquieting about the shadow that the steeple casts." Understand "church" as oddly shaped building.

shadow is part of the oddly shaped building. the description of shadow is "Because of its high vantage, the steeple’s shadow falls across the entire tiny town here, dividing the town in two. It’s symbolism. Geez. The old values of faith and family pitted against the new values of mindless consumerism. The placid, pastoral facade that the town shows outsiders is a lie. Real thought-provoking shit like that.[p]What am I , Arthur Miller?[p]The shadow resembles a pumpkin monster. Woooooo, pumpkin monster!!!!" Understand "steeple" as shadow.

'It looks just like a severed head! How much ya'll want for it?'[p]The farmer consults with his wife a moment. 'Eight bucks,' they finally decide.[p]'Sold!'

Like elephants or something!'[br]She begins crying, and curls into a small, vomit-streaked ball.[br]Eventually, after getting addicted to heroin and crack in an attempt to eat even less, she is forced by her family to enter a body-image acceptance facility (read: nut house). Slowly, over several months, she learns to love herself for who she is-- and screw those impossibly-thin supermodels parading through the fashion magazines, who perpetuate an unhealthy stereotype. The cheerleader emerges a confident, mature, balanced young woman. Her parents take her to Chez Ooo-La-La to celebrate.[br]Whereupon she eats some bad brie, and immediately succumbs to food poisoning[note 215].[br](You hear giggling in the distance.

'Wanna do the nasty?'[br]'No,' you say. 'I'm saving myself for marriage. You see, casual sex may not seem like a big deal. You may think, Hey, everyone else does it. You may think, But it's a natural thing. You may decide, But that obese and smelly man with the videocamera is offering me thirty-two bucks and a ride in his El Camino.
