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.

Religion In The Works Of Flannery O'Connor
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper showing the religious references in three of this twentieth-century Southern writer's stories: 'A Good Man is Hard To Find,' 'Good Country People,' and 'The River.' The paper argues that the intrinsic violence of much of O'Connor's work comes from her unusual interpretation of the working out of God's grace in the world. Bibliography lists seven sources including book.

William Butler Yeats and Flannery O'Connor / Literary Criticism
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper critiquing a literary criticism article by Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet, in which Blythe and Sweet compare O'Connor's story 'A Good Man Is Hard To Find' with William Butler Yeats' 'The Second Coming.' The paper concludes that there is really very little valid basis for comparison, due to the differing literary outlooks of the writers themselves. No sources except critical article and O'Connor's book.

Works Of Flannery O'Connor / Emotional Intent Through Racism
[ 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. Two of the author's short stories -- Everything That Rises Must Converge and Judgement Day -- reflect just such a backdrop in their attempts to demonstrate the absurdity of such narrow-mindedness. The writer compares and contrasts the two stories with respect to their representation of racial intolerance.
