The Golem & Yet Do I Marvel

The connection between these two pieces is the struggle to understand the acts of God and the Golem. The Golem describes a creature created to protect the Jews while Cullen describes his frustration with the cruelty African-Americans face as an act of racism. I feel as though both pieces depict the struggle a group of people must face who are in desperate need of help. We are not always reluctant to understand these helpers purpose, but we must trust in their acts to save us.
