I really don't think he is. Mormons aren't even mentioned until like halfway through the book. Even then, Udall doesn't write much about the religion itself, and he shows that the key Mormon characters, the Madsens, have deep flaws just like the rest of us.
yea I agree with Devin, but Mormonism seems to become a more prominent issue as we keep on reading the book.
i don't think he is i think that's why he keeps religion kinda light-hearted in a way,and it seems like he's making fun of religion so that he does come off as preachy
i dont think he is at all. i think udall is just a really good writer and is smart enough to inquire a broad range of ideas and topics to keep a reader interested. he always keeps things interesting enough to where it feels like something important is coming up and i want to keep reading.
i agree also with Devin, if Udall wanted it to play a more prominent roll in the book, it would have been a subject from the beginning. i think it is used to show the difference in life at Edgar's school and the outside world
I don't think you mean "perpetuate." ("cause to continue") Maybe he's trying to educate his readers, make them curious, and dispell some of the stereotypes.
i think as the book goes on mormonism is more relevant. in the beginning it was not at all bcause there was lots of talk about drugs and alcohol, but i think now its becomming more visable that udall could be kind of advertising mormonism.
I definitely think he is using the book to shine a light on Mormonism and make people understand it more, but I don't think he is trying to convert people through this novel. I think the reason the Mormonism didn't become part of the novel until later on is because if people started reading it they might put it down immediately if they are not open to other religions. It was kind of sneaky! (but not in a bad way).
