By the Waters of Babylon” would change if it were told from John's father's point of view as it'll reveal the perspective of the father.
<h3>How to explain the story?</h3>
The plot follows John as he travels on his initiation quest to prove himself to his tribe as a man and a priest. John bases his journey decisions on visions and his interpretation of the signs he sees in the natural world. John breaks many of his tribe's laws because of his thirst for knowledge.
John learns chants, spells, and other mysteries from the priests. He picks up wound-healing techniques as well as the "old method" of reading and writing. John explains that although if a lot of the priests' work isn't actually magic, his father feels it's okay to let other people think it is.

The two sentences that seem to foreshadow Dexter’s future obsession with “possessing” Judy Jones are "He wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves" and "Often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges".
In "Winter Dreams" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dexter, who is the main character of the story, believes that Judy is the ideal woman. Although she is selfish, he pursues Judy because he has an idealistic view of her; in other words, he does not conceive her as a flawed human being. However, this idealistic view is shattered when she becomes a housewife.

Moreover, the second sentence, which implies that Dexter wanted things without knowing why, is connected to the fact that <u>he never loved Judy for who she was since he was always in love with an ideal of womanhood. </u>
The figurative language is mostly physical (dancing, cheering) before the volta and moves to mental after it (thought, speech).
