crusted with rust, clang in his wake. Fog washes over the tombstones in waves. His feet crunch upon the ground. The fog obscures his vision, but he could walk here blindfolded. This journey to the cemetery has become a routine, anticipated but not enjoyed. The call of a loon sails through the milky air; the sound ripples along his spine. He walks onward, head forced down, eyes riveted to the ground. When he finds himself before the tombstone, something is different. A fresh spray of roses has been
cemetery that I had no true interest in, or so I thought. The cemetery was home to about sixteen burial plots but one particularly interested me.

How Owen Meany is Directly Compared to Jesus Christ Throughout the novel “a prayer for Owen Meany,” by John Irving, the main character is portrayed as a very religious martyr. In the Christian faith Jesus Christ is a martyr as well. Although there are many differences between the life of Jesus, as depicted in the bible and Owen Meany, there are many similarities as well, so many in fact, that the reader is forced to ponder if these similarities are intentional. Jesus Christ was a miracle birth:
time to come is an indication of the author’s direct intention to write a sad story. At lunch the children are rowdy and need to be calmed down.
