Chapter 18

"I got a feel in' I'm bringin' bad luck to my folks. I got this feelin' I oughta go away an' let 'em be. I ain't comf'table bein' like this." -Uncle John 
This quote speaks volumes on Uncle John's character and how even after all these years, after all the good deeds he has done to clear his "sin" he still can't forgive himself. Even when everyone has moved on John is still stuck in the past and still tries to blame himself for the present. John, unsure of what to do, goes to Casy in the hopes that he understands him more than John understand himself but the truth is that no one knows John better than he knows himself and that it's because of this that John must find inner peace and finally stop his constant self-persecution. Do you think Uncle John could finally forgive himself for his past and start living again?
