My selected essay is called Salvation by Langhes Hughes. In his essay he wrote about himself when he was twelve-year-old, and how he was misleading by his auntie Reed and his other church members. When Hughes was twelve year old about to turn thirteen, he was told by his auntie Reed and the other members in his church, that the day he will be brought in front of everybody in church and be prepared to be saved; something will happen to him on the inside. They told him that he will see and feel Jesus in his soul and when he is saved, he will see a light and from that moment on Jesus will be in his soul forever.
             When that day finally comes, he was brought in front of everybody with the other children that were also sinners and they were all really to be saved by Jesus Christ. All the events that they told him were going to happen to him happened except the most important event: which was the part about Jesus Christ coming into his life and saving him from evil. At the end of that day when Hughes went to bed, he cried in bed alone not because the Holy Ghost had came into his life like his auntie Reed and the other church members believed. But because he was feeling guilty about lying and deceiving everybody at the church. He cried because he had lied about seeing Jesus Christ and how now he did not believed there was God any more, since he didn't come to save him today. What society had make us believed by not really defining and explaining to us what exactly they mean in terms of religious believes. Hughes interprets what his Auntie Reed and his other church told him about the ceremony in a whole different way from what they meant. He wrote this essay in order to express to us how he felt about lying and deceiving everybody at the church, and to also narrate and make us understand how he had misinterprets what they told him because they did not explain to him. He showed us a very good example on how he felt back then. Th
