This is *excellent*

I have a couple minor copy-editing things
Franz discovered Chris’s death from two hitchhikers; it struck him so much that when he learned what happened he “renounced the Lord… I decided I couldn’t believe in a God who would let something that terrible happen to a boy like [Chris]” (60). Chris’s influence over others was greater than he would ever know.

Here you needed a bridge between "hitchhikers" and "it," "Lord" needed capitalization, and "is" should probably be "was."

Aside from that stuff, this is a really well-written and well-executed argument. Great job. I'm impressed :)

forgot to say that I fixed the errors myself in the quote, figured you'd know but thought I'd say anyway
