    ~Summary
    Mitch think “incredible” is the right description for Reb to devote tirelessly. For Reb, the way people who hadn’t seen one another in years hugged each other is a piece of heaven. Heaven is the underpinning of nearly all faiths. The Reb once gave a sermon: in hell, people sat around a banquet table, full of exquisite meats and delicacies. But their arms were locked in front of them, unable to partake for eternity; in heaven, the difference was they were feeding each other. Reb take death in stride. Finally, Mitch doesn’t want to leave Reb, instead of running from him.

    2.Why does Mitch say “I doubt I’m going to whatever level you’re going to.” to Reb?
    (p.226)
    A: Because Mitch think Reb is a Man of God.
