Holden has proven to hint at the idea that he has been a bit too much influenced by movies, which would most likely be a reason why Allie’s death was such a big deal. The movies have had a role in Holden’s life because they made him to believe that the protagonist or the “good” guy always miraculously survives dire situations, which made him believe that Allie would survive somehow through the leukemia. This idea was hinted towards when Holden was talking about how he felt after Maurice had punched him in the gut, Holden said that he was picturing himself going to the elevator, shooting Maurice, smoking a cigarette, and call up Janet to bandage him up. The idea of the “good” guy winning the battle is a very typical movie type of ending, which points to how influenced Holden is by the movies. The very same type of ending was seen when Holden recalled the movie he watched about the Englishman who had lost his memory and his response to it.
He is the oldest member of the band, but the shortest one. He writes most of the songs on the albums. Many of them are based off of personal expiriences or about stories that their fans tell him about. Mike Fuentes is twenty-seven years old. He is Vic’s little brother.
Jerry Brown would even sit in on a couple of services that Jim would preach at Peoples Temple. Mr. Jones had gotten a lot of people to follow him with his inspirational words and kindness towards everyone. Some thought that jones was just a big fake and told the press negative this about him.

Arthur Dimmesdale committed the greater sin because he was a man of faith. He was not true to his sacred vows. He committed an adultary which is considered to be the worst sin because it is against one of the ten commandments.

Reading The book Lost in the City by Edward P. Jones I find it ironic that Jones is an atheist because all his stories are drench with Godly messages. As a Christian I read and see the spiritual life of Jones hidden in the characters and story lines though out the book. In a recent profile in The Washington Post, Neely Tucker quotes Jones who says, "The people I grew up around, almost all of them had been born and raised in the South. . .
It causes people to believe that the plague was a punishment from God. And this causes the church to weaken, because Christians began to lose faith in religion.

“Honey, my name is Priscilla, now you’ll have to forgive me; my memory ain’t quite what it used to be, when I can remember anyway. You see, my health is failing, sometimes I don’t remember what day it is, my husband Jim, and well he passed away some years ago, hard to remember exactly. Me and Jim, well Jim loved me more than ever, and well, I don’t like being here without him, but that’s not my reason for this story. You see, I would like to end my life, I know, I know, suicide is against the law, but you see, this old bird has lived a great life, it’s getting to the point my only memories are of pain and misery.

However, I find now that I always thought about the past. I didn’t realize how much religion still influences the present and the future. I have learned to appreciate a minority religious groups’ struggle to integrate while maintaining a semblance of their values. I have found reasons for willingness to accept and value differences of religious beliefs.
