Question

Quilliam is told by his mother at the start of the novel that:‘"God will keep you safe, Quilliam, but he'll not keep you clean. You must do that for yourself."' p9 How does this belief in God shape the actions of the characters from the very start?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Although you have not informed the text to which this question refers, based on what was presented in the question, you can conclude that the characters believe that God will always protect them and guide them in the way that they hold, but they will have to remain alone. . No miracle will happen without them working hard and trying to resolve their responsibility. In other words, we can say that the characters believe that the protection of God does not insure them from the need for proactivity, hard work, responsibility and self-care.
