The narrator on “Salvation” by Langston Hughes, the young narrator is different from the way he was at the beginning of the story, by showing the way he believed everything he was told when he was young because as we read the story we can see clearly he is told that those young lamb who’s sinners are able to see Jesus and believe he would go inside you and and forgive them. But after the event he pass through were he didn’t see or felt nothing he felted he was lied and he couldn’t believed it, cryed in the night and he learn that there was no God and that he was lied. He also felt bad on telling his aunt that he had lied on the event because he got up and went to the altar as if he saw and felt god presence which was a lie, he changes from believing everything he was told to not believing and not knowing what to believe or think.

The story, “Salvation”, by Langston Huges, portrays that the young child was believing in something that has been told him by since he was a kid by his family and when he was in church with his aunt he experience a lot different from what he has told because he was believing that GOD will be sent down and help him forgiving his sins but he never see Jesus so he was upset about it and he acknowledges that there is no Jesus who comes down to saved him yet the lord of the church was calling him to come and be saved and he wasn’t sure if he goes up and then gets ashamed by others because he didn’t see any GOD there. So starting to believe that it’s a whole lie about Jesus that comes down to save him when he never sees anyone.
