    From page 89 Oliver Cowdery informs us “I do not pretend that he (Joseph Smith) is not a man subject to passions like other men‚ beset with infirmities and encompassed with weaknesses”.

    The theory of evolution‚ formalized by Charles Darwin‚ is as much theory as is the theory of gravity‚ or the theory of relativity.

    This story stands out as true to life because of the extreme detail Updike uses to set the scene of the grocery store‚ as well as the way he develops his characters.  He watches the girls make their way through the grocery store‚ never failing to describe where they are whether it be by the bread or by the peaches.  He even goes so far as to describe the stores location in relation to the beach to explain how odd it is that the three girls came into the store in nothing but their bathing suits.  He
