(p. 126). Though he does not see him as the enemy, O’Brien reacts as he had been taught to in war; to forget most of your morals and shoot before you can be shot first, a fact Kiowa points out to him. “Later, I remember, Kiowa tried to tell me that the man would 've died anyway.

Elizar feels that he is now unfaithful to God, and his dad is the closest most available resource so he relies on him to help maintain his faith.
