In the last selection from In Times Like These, why does the 19-year old girl tell the woman social worker who wants to pray with her, "Lady, . . . what is the use of praying-there is no God. I know that you think there is a God, Lady. . . . I did, too-once- but I know now that there is no God anywhere" (McClung, 55). McClung was a very religious person: why did she include this anecdote in In Times Like These?
