"CLAY"


This is a picture symbolizing Reuben's birth.
"Reuben Land, in the name of the living God, I am telling you to breathe" (3).
Jeremiah states this when he is telling his son Reuben, who has been lifeless for the first 12 minutes of his life, to breathe, and he does. It is clearly the first miracle we witness Jeremiah perform in the novel.
Thematic ideas: faith, loyalty
