Langston Hughes " Salvation"

From all the stories that I have read so far, "Salvation" is my favorite. It describes the pristine of a teenager from believing in Jesus. Even though though the author was not a child and was a teenager, he believed that he was going to be saved and see Jesus while he was at church. When I read this story, I tried to imagine I was the author and if I could have felt the embarrassement that he went through in church. He felt that in order to make his aunt happy, he had to lie to his aunt and tell her that Jesus saved him,when he hasn't. Even though he lied, he felt guilty about lying to his aunt. But now he knows that since he didn't see Jesus, he didnt't believe that Jesus existed to help him.
