Examples that demonstrated that motif in, A Prayer For Owen Meany, were, Tabitha’s death. Although her death was caused by a baseball hit by Owen, he tells John that eventually they have to cope with it because, “Everything happens for a reason, and only God has the answers to why”. Another example is when John finds out Reverend Merrill is his biological father. After Owen’s death, the spirit of Owen possesses Merrill’s body and shows him the baseball that caused Tabitha’s death in Merrill’s desk. John finding out about Merrill being his father demonstrated the, “Everything happens for a reason” motif. “Signs” also had many examples of the motif as well. When Graham’s wife was dying, she told him that, “Everything happens for a reason.” and it was, “Meant to be” as in her death. Also the aliens invading happened for a reason and although that reason is unknown, it brought Graham’s family closer than ever since the mom’s death. After defeating the aliens Hess’ faith is restored with God
