One thought on “Omar Aly Discussion 3”
Hello, Omar I agree with the last three words you used. to describe the boy at the end of the story as it now gives you a small glimpse into the minds of teenagers from when they start to get interested about almost any and everything and question whether their faith in religion is real or not. He goes from believing that Jesus will come and save him, but he does not even show up. From here on out will be an inner conflict trying to find out who he is.
