How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
It was still dark when Jonesy woke me, shaking me by the shoulder. I opened my eyes. "What's up?"
"You believe in God?" he asked.
As I sat up I saw he was holding a flashlight in one hand and a small Bible in the other.
"Yeah, I do," I said. (3.17-20)
This is the first clue to Jonesy's religious background. He must have been feeling really anxious if he woke Birdy up to pray.
Quote #2
I felt awkward. It had been years since I last prayed, and I had never prayed with a friend. Jonesy held up his fist and I touched it to mine. (3.22)
So Birdy believes in God, but he hasn't prayed in years. He has beliefs, but isn't super religious.
Quote #3
A small, round Specialist came over and asked if Jonesy and I wanted to join a prayer group.
"I don't think so," I said. "Maybe…" I looked at Jonesy.
"No way," Jonesy said. "I'm a blues man. All we believe in is the blues and hard whiskey." (3.66-68)
Really, Jonesy? Do you really not believe in anything besides the blues? You literally woke Birdy up to pray the night before.
