Blankets
In reading this book I found that I could relate to the religious reality very much, I grew up going to a catholic school and being raised by roman catholic republicans, definitely put "the fear of god in me'' As a young kid anyone in a religious setting like that looks up to and believes in the world of religion, when that is what the adults and authority tell you to do. But just as we all do Craig grew up and started to rebel and question the teachings and life style that he was raised with. In meeting Raina I feel like they are using her to represent sin in some ways, even though they illustrate her with extreme beauty you can see the relationship between her and sin. Craig questioning everything is afraid to get super close to her, but I feel like when he does he feels like he gets a little bit closer to god.
