    Confusion, Expected Connection/Sadness/Hopelessness, Guilt

    Langston Hughes made the effort to go to church and believed every word his Auntie Reed had told him. He was present when the girls cried claiming they had found Jesus, and when the entire congregation was emotional. All the young children in the church had moved forward towards the altar. A rounder's son named Westley and Hughes were the only two left who had not yet been salvaged by Christ. After a long waiting for salvation, Westley falsely claims to been have saved by Jesus, stands up and walks towards the altar. With the pressure of the preacher, Auntie Reed, and the crowd of the congregation, Langston Hughes finally stands. That night, Hughes cries, because he had lied not only to himself, to Auntie Reed, the preacher, audience, and in the house of worship. Auntie Reed believes his tears are for being saved by Jesus. Feeling hopeless, sinful, and guilty, Langston Hughes loses faith in a benevolent God.
