Baptist Lyrics by Heading South

0

1. In "Heading South" there are literary uses of political opinions.In my opinion, religion and politics coincide.In this short story, the main character makes in importance on her religion, and her husband's. She states that she was a Baptist, but when she married her husband, she had to change to being a Methodist. "Methodists are like that, they'll walk all over anyone who tries to stop them from doing what they think is right.Not me, I was born Baptist. I only became a Methodist because of my husband."
this quote from the passage shows how she really didn't want to change her religion, and how she only did it for her husband. I think in Haiti there is an overwhelming amount of control husbands have on their wives lives, and what they do with them.

Connecting religion with other stories, in the short story "Odette", Odette's daughter turned to the church, instead of standing by her mother. Religion has the ability to become a large part in people's lives and how they act.
I think there are signs of satire in the story. Religious people are supposed to be giving and nonjudgmental, but she is very judgemental of others in the story, especially when she describes the girls in the school she teaches at."I teach stuck-up little bitches to keep their knees together so they can trap husbands." she's harsh on making judgements in multiple different aspects in the story.
Baptist is a denomination of protestant christianity. their main beliefs are baptism and salvation through faith.
in Haiti, Baptism as a religion is pretty popular. There are many mission trips from Baptist churches from the United States that host mission trips to Haiti to help the Haitian people, and to spread their religious beliefs among people in need.
