Paper #4 overview

Topic: Hypocrisy in religion through the texts Blankets and Oranges.

Religion is an extremely controversial topic. This is portrayed in the traditional reading selection, Oranges, and the graphic novel, Blankets. Both pieces of writing deal with the main characters growing up in very religious families, who compel them to attend church regularly and follow God's path, no matter what they do in life. While carrying out whatever they can to please God, they discover the hypocritical side of the religious spectrum.
