In the story Salvation by Langston Hughes the author was a 12 year old kid going on to 13 who was inspired by the words of his aunt. His aunt was always talking about how Jesus saves everyone and how her words about Jesus were so great. When Langston was hearing these words of greatness, Langston wanted to be saved by Jesus himself. During this time Langston believed in Jesus so much but after a while trying to get Jesus to save him he felt that deep hateness because he was confused on why Jesus didn’t save him but is saving everyone else. Therefore the behavior change in the beginning of the story vs the end of the story was that he was excited to see what Jesus would do and was happy but in the end of the story when he lied to everyone by saying that Jesus saved him but in reality he didn’t get saved, so when he told that lie he become a lier and felt bad about himself deep down. When Langston didn’t get saved by Jesus he questioned his beliefs.
