The dissertation manuscript Gog chronicles my experiences as a Jehovah's Witness from a working-class family, investigating
larger issues of poverty, religious persecution, and generational cycles of violence while also exploring the fraught relationship between

religious fervor, antagonizes the speaker in dreams and visions. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for
