1. This sections of "Letter from Kentucky" uniquely discusses his father. He begins describing his father as man who helped give him life and turns out to be "a nice old man." However the author is actually referring to his father as God. God, who gave him life, saved his life and sacrificed his own life for his very existence. When the author says, "Take, eat..." it is evident that he is being religious. The author skillfully incorporates both his father's into one short paragraph and leaves the reader thinking about if hes referring to his actual father or his heavenly father and why he decides the include both in this manner.
2. This section goes in detail about the author's faith and challenges with his faith. And also not being able to escape the grasp of his father or the word of God.
3.Why did the author decide to include the bit about the radio at the end? Maybe to emphasized how overwhelmed he is?
