Instead....
Think about this:
Why does Father Karl come into the book, how does he relate back to Sister James, why is it important that he just nearly survives the concentration camps, and has Toby finally confessed--if so, how?
Tomorrow can be great--so my question is, will it?
Best,

Father Karl attempts to get Toby to repent, and to fess up for what he has done. Father Karl relates back to Sister James, because she was the beginning of Toby's spirituality and they both, the beginning and the end, try to get Toby onto the bandwagon with testimonials of their own. It is important that Father Karl just barely survived the concentration camps because he turns to a faith that he finds to be more devout to show his thanks to god for saving his life. In a way, Father Karl is able to get Toby to confess where Sister James could not. He gets Toby to say what he doesn't want, and in essence what he does want, for his mother to be happy. Father Karl helps Toby to realize how his mother will be torn apart if she knows about all of Toby's wrongs, and how she is torn up about his recent one. Father Karl is one of the few people to ever have been really, and truly able to connect to Toby.
