Hanna Etwara Discussion 3

The young narrator is different from the way he was at the beginning of the story to the ending of the story because in the beginning he was more hopeful and intrigued with what the outcome would be. But as the short story goes on he slowly starts to lose faith. At first he was so full of spirit and he wanted to be saved by christ because he heard everyone else’s story so he felt like well if god can do that for them then he can do the same for me. The narrator looked at the situation like that and it allowed him to be hopeful but when he went to the church and tried to experience this for himself it just didn’t happen. It’s very ironic when we want something so badly but we don’t end up getting it. Believing in Jesus and really putting your complete faith and trust into God isn’t something that comes easily to people and that’s okay. In this short story the narrator is very young at the time and he doesn’t realize just how deep religion really is so to try and fit in with the crowd he fakes it. This alone could have many consequences because now he’s feeling guilty, he could have doubts in god, and this could potentially affect his aunts trust in him in the future.
