Analysis Of 'APOSTLE'

APOSTLE is a story that is driven by themes about second chances, faith, destiny, and learning to forgive. The story also explores the belief in miracles.

The goal should drive the second act and Cody’s plan of action to achieve his goal should drive the second act too.
However, as mentioned, the story, right now, jumps from one storyline to another, making it feel
