A.This was an experience that happened during his childhood. Hughes stopped believing in Jesus, he lied to everyone and said that he saw Jesus. F. It tells us that the author was willing to wait until he actually felt Jesus, and the Holy Ghost. Hughes was counting on Jesus to come to him.

Something in my life that I have been pressured into doing and I didn’t want too, was sneaking out in the middle of the night. I can remember my friends and I were all having a sleepover and these boys wanted to hang out. One of my friends got this brilliant idea that we should sneak out and hang out with them. I knew from the start that I didn’t want to do this and that it probably wasn’t the best idea. But that didn’t stop them, they wanted to go!
I finally gave in and went with them because I didn’t want to stay at my friend’s house by myself. We were walking to this boy’s house and we were all freaking out because it’s 2 o’clock in the morning and pitch black. When we finally got there we all relaxed and calmed down. In the mean time were all having a great time and hanging out. His parents weren’t home for the weekend, and he had a pool in his back yard. We went swimming and we were way loud and laughing at everything.
The neighbors behind his house came out and told us that he called the cops so we better leave. My friends and I started freaking out because if the girl’s parents knew that we snuck out of her house we would all get in so much trouble. We hurried and left the boys house and we were running back to our friend’s house where we were sleeping over at. One the way home we saw a car, we hurried and hid in the bushes and sure enough it was a cop. One of our friends dropped her phone and went to go get it and that’s when the cop saw us and turned on his light. We were so mad at our friend because we were right in front of the girl’s house that we were sleeping over at. We wouldn’t of have gotten caught but my friend had to go get her phone.
Her parents could see the lights in their room and came out to see what was going on. The neighbors also came out because they could hear us and also see the lights. I can remember from this day how scary that night was. I knew as soon as they called my parents that, which would be the last sleepover I ever had. Sure enough it was the last sleepover that my parents ever let me have. I can remember being so frustrated because I didn’t want sneak out in the first place. I was so angry that I let my friends peer pressure me into something that I didn’t want to do.
I think that I can relate my experience and the experience that Hughes had in Salvation. We both got pressured into something that we didn’t want to do. The difference though is that I gave in and Hughes was strong enough and didn’t do it. I have learned from this experience to listen to your gut feelings. I have also learned don’t let your friends pressure you into things that you don’t want to do. If they were good enough friends and knew you didn’t want to do it, they wouldn’t make you, or they would stay back with you.
