Worst Area of Transition

Then also we can challenge the factuality in the story of Jesus’ confrontation with the devil. Is it possible that these two men came up with the visions they claimed to have seen within their own minds? Were these men reinventing the world in which they lived?

The aspect of reinvention now must be explored. Jesus preached that God was a compassionate God who acted as a father figure for all beings. This was a complete opposite of what was understood and believed at the time. God was seen as a ruler demanding obedience without compromise, according to the Ten Commandments that Moses gave to the people…

This idea is supported by the fact that Billy when an adult back in the states, cries on a daily basis. The withheld grief and visions he remembers haunts him as he continues to live, which may be a root to his reinvention of belief.

The next area that should be examined is the comparison of the demise of the two prophets themselves. When looking at Billy we see the time at war as a similarity to the Stations of the Cross. Billy is taken and marched to the train that will take him to the death of his innocence. He is taken to the prisoner camp and humiliated by being given a coat, which is too small for him. It is also a civilian coat that makes him stand out from his other comrades.
