I'm currently reading the book Godless, I have read the book previous to this time of reading it, but this time as I read the book I am reading it more attentively and more comprehendable as a reader. I wanted to talk about the main character Jason. Basically the book is about Jason and some other friends that decide to create their own religon. I want to talk about his life and many things that affected him positively and negatively.
Jason was affected positively by finding his own religon, it was about a god called the ten-legged one. I think by finding his own religon it mad him feel better. I don't mean like necessarily feel happy,but I think Jason was able to express himself in ways that he was not able to do when he is in public.He showed emotion in a different way, I guess it was just a getaway for him, a getaway from all the punishment from the bully that tortures him and his friend, and a get away from his parents definitely his parents. I say this because his parents are always controlling his life and making him go to religious school and just control his life in general. I think creating his own religon let him be the boss of himself which he doesn't get the option to do that often in general. He was the leader of the religon, and I think it really showed his true colors and feel more confident. This is possibly the only good thing that happens so far.
Bad things that happen a lot to him. One bad thing is having a bully, the bully's name is Henry I mean what obviously a bully is bad for anyone to have for the fact that they abuse you physically and mentally. The terrible thing about this is that Henry is way smaller than Jason and Jason knows himself that even he can beat Henry up. This definitely degrades his confidence as a person and it just brings embarrasment to Jason. Another bad thing that is going on in the book is his parents, they are so controlling which is bad for the fact that he will never have the courage to stand up for himself because he is being controlled for what he does. It's the way his parents raised him that makes him vulnerable to bullies, I'm not saying that it's right but it definitely is wrong.
In conclusion, positive things that happened to Jason was controlling his life and forgetting the bullies the control over him. It was him set free. Sometimes people need to just have their imagination go so they won't be uptight all the time or go crazy.
