Owen Meany, A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY

Owen Meany a young boy from the book A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY is thought by many to be affiliated with god or the devil strongly. In the book How to Read Literature Like a Professor some chapters really connect to A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY because it talks about religious beliefs. In How to Read Literature Like a Professor(Chap. 14) the author tells us qualities of a Christ figure and what do you know Owen actually meets most of the qualifications to becoming a Christ figure. Owen has many other worldly features such as his abnormal voice and his height. Before Owen killed Johns mother he has a feeling that he is suppose to kill her since he interrupted the angel of deaths job. So is Owen really the person we see him as or is he just a normal person? I guess i need to read on to find out and make sure if your reading this and haven't picked up this book i recommend it strongly because it's funny and will have you believing things you have never believed.
