While waiting for the “artist” to finish the “God” tattoo, Parker feels that“his sensations of the day and night before were those of a crazy man and that he would return to doing things according to his own sound judgment” (paragraph 117). How much self-awareness does this observation demonstrate?

- This insight from the story’s narrator demonstrates that Parker is still running from God—much like the Old Testament’s Moses and Jonah. He wants to sleep as he has done when he acquired all his other tattoos, but he cannot. His body is tense, his mind is racing. Even after the burning bush-like epiphany of the tractor collision, Parker is still trying to deny that his life has changed. His near-death experience and the burning shoes (where his feet are not but should have been) jolt him into a reality that he never wanted to accept. Even as he continually thinks that he will not return to Sarah Ruth’s bed, Parker thinks that he wants nothing to do with God—yet his soul’s dissatisfaction will not allow him to ignore either.
