I have connected with the the story “Salvation” by Langston Hughes by having been in his shoes at one point in my life. I also remember the times I have visited church throughout my early childhood into my teen years and having felt pressure to follow and believe in the same ideologies and principles that are taught in church. I’ve felt peer pressured into joining many activities revolving around the church and trying to experience and understand what everyone else around me felt. Many of whom came often in attempt to repent for their sins and get saved, while I sat and witness but was obligated to become involved to external pressure from the people around me. I connect to the story “Araby” by James Joyce through the depiction of how reality is often disappointing and at a certain point being stuck within a state of delusion, yet often later results in a period of self reflection.

I have connected to the narrator in “Salvation” because it reminds me of times in life where I was peer pressured into doing things I never really wanted to do. Most of the time however, I wouldn’t actually fall through with the ideas people try to make me do, usually because I never felt the need or want to. It reminds me of how Langston in the church was sitting there waiting to be saved and have sight of Jesus while while everyone were trying their best to make him feel, and be “saved” by Him. Their have been times in my life where I was trying to stay on track and I was taking steps in your future, or even waiting for come in my life to happen then there would be distraction or people telling to take a chance or, leap of faith, and I would move because I never saw the prize in it.

In the story “salvation” by langston hughes. The narrator was very disappoinment and feeling guilty when giving in to peer presure.Langston was waiting to be saved and to see Jesus at the same time. When that never came he initially refused to lie to everyone until he realized that the only outcome to it all was for him to be “saved”. He then cried in bed because he couldn’t admit that he never saw god, resulting in him not believing in god at all. But I not agree with langston for not beliveving in jesus am not christian, I am hindu so i think god can help us in anyway anytime they are with us always we can’t see god but they always there when we need him . And all what things happen with us its for a reason if it is bad or good. If you are disappoinment by god so he has other big plan for you so just be clam and follow your dream it will come true one day . When I was in 7 standard i was also dreaming to study in usa and now its happining. In “Araby” the narrator was in love with the girl and other all things he can’t see light all he saws dark things .when he saw his girl he can see light so he was in love with the girl .

I just want to talk to her but it never happen.
