Bless me Ultima

I like the way this book brings up very deep questions and how Antonio is forced to accept them as well as try to find answers to them. Antonio and his friend, Florence are walking to church on day and Florence brings up some very interesting questions that Antonio has never dealt with before, such as sinning and why a person can live a life of sin, yet at death, he can be forgiven and still make it into heaven. I think that Antonio will continue to look at these types of questions and also I feel the he is leaning much more in the way of a priest. His mother has always forced him to look at the possibility of becoming a priest, and now that he is growing up, it is becoming more and more apparent that Antonio is more willing to accept that path.
This novel has some funny characters to it as well. I like the way the author give Antonio’s friends names, such as Bones, and Horse. This makes the novel more personal and genuine to many of its readers.
