If you read the poem, can you tell us what you would pick between. Paganism or catholisism?
Tell us why you pick it and not the 0ther.Tell us then why ANtonio might be convinced to pick what you did. http://www.scribd.com/doc/4440890/Poetry-Poem-on-Independence-On-my-own-feet--

Antonio's mentality.

As we see in this book, Tony comes along a few friends. Some bad and some, well less bad thatn the others. we notice that these friends wil help decide what future Antonio will have. Priest or Vaquero. They help him to realize that God may not be as just as was once thought. "[He] was not satisfied. The god [he] so eagerly sought was not there". So my question to you today is; do you think Antonios final decision of God is just, using textual support from our essay and the book, why?

In Bless Me Ultima we see that Tony is troubled by religion. Do you think that this insecurity in his faith may be a coming of age process in a different way? "The golden carp' [he]said to himself'anew god?" to Antonio, this is world shaking. He has been told all his life he is to become a priest, that means believing in God. However if he is questioning his faith, can he become a priest? is he losing his innocence. Go to the poem and see what you think.
