A Prayer for Owen Meany

Days turn into years and years turn into birthdays,Owen and John are growing up now physically and emotionally. New Christ and his disciple John have now passed their adolescent years trasitioning into thier teen/young adult years. Owen has now become THE VOICE of the grave spreading his liberalist ideas like a weed onto gravestones. He has disrupted the foundation of the Academy by making the headmaster Mr. White furious with THE VOICE. Owen and the headmaster have publicly faced off throughout chapter 6, in my opinion Mr. White will be inputed into a mental hospital because of this war with THE VOICE. This has all happened during the year of John F. Kennedy's reign over the U.S, Owen had became a fan of JFK when he heard the lines "Ask not what your country can do for you ,but what you can do for your country". It's ironic isn't it that a boy who hates Catholics so much is inspired by a well known Catholic but that doesn't matter because ever since John and Owen heard about JFK fooling with Marilyn Owen has loathed JFK.
