Abstract
This creative thesis is an original work of intellectual property. All rights are reserved by the author. Access is restricted until 2050.
Through the lens of pop culture, Drew Downs explores the absurd and suffocating expectations of masculinity and the human search for identity. Through these essays Downs explores anxiety and isolation in a high school German trip, discernment to the priesthood, and a seemingly unrelenting medical condition. And with a style that is evocative, lyrical, and funny, Downs shows that visions of hope and grace are everywhere.
