In the beginning young Langston started off as a believer in which he assumed Jesus was a physical being who would appear\u00a0to those who are willing to be open with him. This is also supported by the fact that he was twelve going on thirteen at that time–which meant he was still considered a child. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, by the end of the night he was left with a great sense of guilt and remorse. Not because he didn\u2019t see Jesus or the light but due to him lying to his family and to all the adults in the church. The idea that he had to lie to his aunt who at one point was crying because she wanted her nephew to be \u201csaved\u201d didn\u2019t sit well him later when he was home. The story\u00a0also brought to my attention the notion of conformity. Langston\u00a0and Westley for the most part seem like very honest kids. However they had to fake\u00a0a religious experience to get out of a hot church, which leaves a person with a lot of questions and places much doubt on one\u2019s faith overall. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
