A Prayer for Owen Meany
As one grows older, one may change interests and continue to pursue the same interests that one had during childhood. In A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, the main character Owen Meany develops and changes through out the novel. While changing, he also remains the same.

Owen's relationships pretty much stayed constant. " This really shows Owen's faith and belief in God. He was very religious and he felt that it was necessary to believe in God. If he could actually put into words and teach his best friend John, he really must have had faith. Owen Meany was a natural-born leader, he would have been the class valedictorian if he hadn't been expelled from Gravesend Academy. Along the way, he made some friendships and acquaintances. He had a life long best friend, John Wheelwright. "I CAN'T SEE HIM-BUT I ABSOLUTELY KNOW HE IS THERE!" (Irving 451). "WELL, NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT GOD," said Owen Meany. Owen said to John ""YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW SHE'S THERE-EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE HER?" he asked me.
