Political Incorrectness In The Works Of Flannery O'Connor
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper looking at three short stories: 'A Good Man is Hard To Find,' 'Good Country People,' and 'Everything That Rises Must Converge.' The paper argues that in her fiction, O'Connor tries to show how craven and worthless and ugly and stupid we are without the benefit of the grace of God. She chooses as her victims people about whom our society feels especially protective -- widows, children, the disabled -- simply because no one is exempt. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Bibliography lists seven sources including book.

[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The fictional works of Flannery O'Connor elicit several levels of emotion within the weave of racism and prejudice.
