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.
