  1. These questions were very thought-provoking, well done. I also plan to explore the topic of religion. I liked how you tried to incorporate religion with other themes within the novel. Your questions were solid and well-written. Have you thought of viewing religion in light of authenticity? Did you plan on exploring the dogmatic institutions of religion or the more personal, spiritual side of religion?
