Reading Salvation by Langston Hughes personally I can relate because in the story he basically lied . And when I was kid sometimes I use to tell fibs and feel bad about it . Also another thing I felt was when he basically felt left out so he felt the need to lie . Stated in the story , “. I began to be ashamed of myself, holding everything up so long. I began to wonder what God thought about Westley, who certainly hadn’t seen Jesus either, but who was now sitting proudly on the platform, swinging his knickerbockered legs and grinning down at me, surrounded by deacons and old women on their knees praying. God had not struck Westley dead for taking his name in vain or for lying in the temple(Hughes).” This basically proves that he felt ashamed so he did something that he thought was right at the moment . I relate to this because as I was in school as a young kid I use to feel like I had to do things to fit in with a certain friend group .
