middle passage
'tis a god!' What!! now I'm confused! i was liking where this book was heading with the middle passage metaphors and semi-realistic ship travels, the characters it was all adding up, but now i am confused, what does he mean a god, is it some kind of undeveloped human or super developed human, or is he just spiralling off and leaving all sort of reality behind and having some superficial 'GOD' being on board. this raises a lot of questions as all religion does questions like, how did they catch this god? why doesn't this god destroy them? Why don't they worship the god? how did they capture this god? do they still worship Christ? what is it??? what will they do with it? a crate, really? is it a hungry god if so them wouldn't it be human by needing to consume? where did this god come? from are there more?

Austin I really like all the question you asked... I wonder the same thing and I think a lot of people do. I also thing that this book holds mysteries for us readers to find out. I am excited to see what happens to the God and if there are more.

All good questions, Austin (and I'm curious to hear what you think of how Johnson manages to 'answer' them--or not.
