I am writing a story about a boy who is pressured by his father, his family, and his culture to conform to the "normal" way of their life. Part of their culture is for boy to, at a cirtain age, take part in a test that should mould him into a man. Then he does his duty and conforms to the "norm". However, my boy is different, and doesn't know who he is or if he wants to conform like everyone else. I wanted the test he partakes in to prepare him for, not only manhood, but also how to deal the challanges he faces at home.
I need a twist that will take place after his big test, after he becomes a man, but im having a lot of difficulty trying to figure a good one out. Aside from the obvious: that he chooses to be different.
I think i might add a girl with the same ambition into the mix, so i'm also considering that.
Any idea's will help tremendously. Thanks!
