Paper Proposal 2

I would like use a story from The Bible to parallel the story in Rabbit, Run. Harry tries to run away from and avoid his problems yet always turns up in the middle of another problem. He also does not understand that the decisions he makes not only affects him, but affect the people around him. In the story of Jonah and the Whale, Jonah tries to hide from his problem and ends up in quite another predicament. Jonah also puts other people in danger by running away from his problem.

Hmmm. This could be interesting. Make sure to mention whether or not you think Updike was influenced by the Jonah story (or other, similar stories) and what evidence you have of it.
