Who is Effie waiting for?
Effie is waiting for ‘HIM’ who I’m not sure if ‘HIM’ is a human being. I think that he is some kind of god or dead person’s soul. You know that when Nail came in to his house in a rainy day? I think this means that he could come in any form or ways. He comes in a rainy day, which makes ‘HIM’ like gloomy sad looking kind of person. By the thunder makes ‘HIM’ more mysterious. And the music makes ‘HIM’ much more scarier.
This story contains a lot of Christ imagery. Write down three separate sentences from the story that might symbolize Jesus and explain why Timothy Findley might have written these into his story.
“’On a cloud,’ she whispered. ‘A Big black cloud. That’s true,’”
God is mighty that he can do something that human think that will be impossible. When I read about Paul, the very first time he met Jesus he came down from no ware, which we think it’s impossible.
“’Besides, it’s not jus me he’s after.’”
Jesus is not trying to it only my self but also other people. God had sent him with a mission to save anyone who believes in God from Satan and his temptation. However in this story Effie symbolize human and ‘HIM’ symbolize God.
“’Thunder and lightning and music’”
I think thunder represents his strength and lightning also. Music symbolizes about our praises.
Can non-Christian authors reveal truth about God’s world?
Yes they can but not in a direct way. For example this story, Timothy is not a Christian believer. However he has this mighty and powerful which symbolizes God. Whether he wanted to or not. And we all have the basic knowledge about who God is so they could use it too.
