In Parable of the Sower Octavia E. Butler develops Lauren as a protagonist who, as she grows, is a character with conflicting emotion. I believe this is done because Lauren is a teenager and so are a majority of the readers and as you develop you start to form your own beliefs on certain subjects. I can relate with Laurens religious dilemma, because I am currently questioning “what if” and it always buts me in a scary, uncomfortable position of which side I should take. As I think more and more about it i begin to be hesitant because if there is a higher entity than what will happen is I stop being faith to this higher entity. Lauren questioned God and compared him to greek god, I also began to do so because my Catholic God was developed later
