Isn't it ironic that Jim Casey sings,
"Yes, sir, that's my Saviour,
Jesus is my Saviour,
Jesus is my Saviour now.
On the level
'S not the devil
Jesus is my Saviour now."
He says he is no longer a preacher and doesn't believe in God/Jesus.
Why do you guys think Jim is still singing songs of praise?
You know i never thought of that until you just pointed that out right now. You're right, he's kind of contradicting himself by saying he's not a preacher anymore, yet he's still praising God/Jesus in the song. Maybe he's still confused on what he truly believes in because in that time period, the people mostly revolved around the whole aspect of religion. Maybe he's trying to figure out whom he really is and whom he believes in.
ReplyDeleteI think so too. As I'm reading further along in the novel, I notice that Jim has ideas of become a preacher again, but not so much for the aspect of spirituality, but to bring happiness to the people once again.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree with you.
DeleteI Also Find It Ironic I feel like Jim Caseys always doing te right thing . Although he says he is no longer a preacher the things that come out of him almost sound as if he is preaching
ReplyDeleteIt is somewhat ironic, but I do not think that he does it to actually pray or worship anyone. It might just be done out of habit. Once someone starts doing something or saying somethings it becomes engraved into one, and one seems to do it unconsciously.
