After reading “Salvation” by Langston Huges the boy in the story who is the main character suddenly becomes very appealing to me. His character is someone that seems like all he wanted to do was be saved so that his aunt would believe him. Some of the words that I would use to describe him is optimistic, confused, and worried. I say this because the longer he sat there he could tell that it was going nowhere. Although he wanted to try and be saved watching all of the kids get picked up and passed by him, he felt as if he had no other choice but to fake it and act like he was saved as well. By the end of the story, he is a bit different as now his faith is at stake. After lying his way through church, he questioned everything he’s ever know because “he” was supposed to come down and help but didn’t.
