Are you there? he whispered. Will I see you at last? Have you a neck by which to throttle you?" pg. 11 leni_broady https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358551301 The man is calling out to God, questioning his existence. He seems to still believe in God, but his belief is slipping. This is one of the transitionary periods between total belief and no belief. ]]> 2019-05-09 16:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358551301 "He knew only that the child was his warrant. He said: If he is not the word of God God never spoke" pg. 5 taylorpolk990 https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358552769 The man is saying that his son is the only reason he is going to keep on with his journey. He was questioning the existence of the God once again.

There is no God. pg.170 taylorpolk990 https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358555121 This is when the man is starting to lose his faith, or, he has already lost it. ]]> 2019-05-09 16:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358555121 "With the first gray light he rose and left the boy sleeping and walked out to the road and squatted and studied the country to the south. Barren, silent, godless." pg. 4 leni_broady https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358557470 This shows the man's outlook on life without God. The scenery and life is so desolate and sad that he thinks that there can be no God. ]]> 2019-05-09 16:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358557470 "He sat beside him and stroked his pale and tangled hair. Golden chalice, good to house a god." pg. 75 leni_broady https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358584659 The use of "a god" shows uncertainty of God's existence. Also, it might show that he worships his son more than a potential God. The boy is more important than any God. ]]> 2019-05-09 17:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358584659 "You wanted to know what the bad guys looked like. Now you know. It may happen again.My job is to take care of you. I was appointed to do that by God. I will kill anyone who touches you. Do you understand?" pg. 77 leni_broady https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358586831 This is flip-flopping back to the "there is a God" mentality. I think when it comes to the boy, the man believes in God because it gives him hope, like the boy does.]]> 2019-05-09 17:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358586831 "We know that you saved it for yourself and if you were here we wouldnt eat it no matter how hungry we were and we're sorry that you didnt get to eat itand we hope that you're safe in heaven with God." pg. 146 leni_broady https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358590026 The boy is thanking the past owners of the food in the bunker. He definitely believes in God, which is a commonality him and his father share. ]]> 2019-05-09 17:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358590026 "If they wanted to show where you were. You mean like to the good guys? Yes. Or anybody that you wanted them to know where you were. Like who? I don't know. Like God? Yeah. Maybe someone like that" pg. 256 taylorpolk990 https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358590110 The child still believes that God exists and that God is going to help them ]]> 2019-05-09 17:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/leni_broady/1wc5zwo74k9s/wish/358590110
