Defender of the Faith/ Philip Roth.

l refuse, I cant stop being me, thats all there is to it. Tears came to his eyes. Its a surd thing to be a Jew. But now I insure what Mackey says- its a harder thing to block one. He raised a hand sadly toward me. Look at you. Defender of the corporate trust/ Philip Roth. The quote above is the part in the Defender of Faith which is a conversation between Crossbars and Marx. Crossbars asks Marx to go out of the army to attend thePassover dinner. Throughout the story we come to understand that Crossbars is taking advantage of the situation that both he and Marx are Jewish for his own benefit. Crossbars tries to bond with Marx on the basis of their common religion, just now soon we realize that he uses this common fact to try to get benefits and other privileges. At near point Marx understands that Crossbars is being selfish and is using the religion for his own needs, and gets tired from Crossbars requests.Crossbars insists that he shouldnt be inured alike(p) everyone else b ecause he claims that he is better. In addition he throws at Marx accusations saying that he is denting his grow and his family. Crossbars says this only because he is unhappy and doesnt get from Marx what he wants, he calls him a go. You even talk like a go. Its a hard thing to be a Jew. But now I understand what Mackey says- Its a harder thing to stay one.
