Extractions: Flannery O'Connor's characters, like herself, are not free from the complexes that afflict moderns. But they do not shrink from sacrifices, even self-immolation, in order to achieve personal integrity. That goal is intertwined with adherence to a pristine, austere Christianity, the very same program of Newmans Oxford Movement. One area in which this dynamic comes into play is in the reading of certain OConnor characters who flourish through sacrifice, brought on by a disdain for worldliness. A disdain for and misreading of the term sacrifice has led to the relative critical neglect of "Why Do the Heathen Rage?," "The River" and "A Temple of the Holy Ghost." The world of these three short stories is a literary site pockmarked by the effects of a primordial catastrophe or rupture. Those who find release from that world's confusion are delinquents, those who suffer tremendous guilt for a primal fault, which is a turning away from God toward creatures. Their simplicity and humility to accept a gaping hole in their existence bring them on the road toward holiness. But at the same time, they remain as human as their fellows, with the same inclinations toward pride and other follies. They are, as OConnor describes Newman, with a sanctity that does not destroy his scrupulous intellect or his finickiness (Habit of Being 352).

Extractions: In 5 pages, the writer discusses Flannery O'Connor's life, her style, and her place in the literary world. Flannery O'Connor was born Mary Flannery O'Connor. O'Connor wrote a collection of short stories, 'A Good Man Is Hard to Find'. Her novels were 'Wise Blood' and 'The Violent Bear It Away'. Posthumously published were 'Mystery and Manners', a collection of essays and lectures, and 'Flannery O'Connor: The Complete Stories'. The latter included her most famous story, 'Everything That Rises Must Converge', which was awarded the National Book Award for fiction. Bibliography lists 8 sources. 5 pages in length. 'I suspect that most of you have been telling stories all your lives ' is the assumption Flannery O'Connor makes in her lecture entitled Writing Short Stories. For it is difficult for O'Connor to fathom that people perceive writing fiction as a chore, when it is something she achieves as though it were of no effort whatsoever. Her main points to writing good fiction involve the use of symbolism and theme, which the writer compares and contrasts between two of O'Connor's works: Good Country People and Everything that Rises Must Converge. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Extractions: E scritora estadounidense que ocupa un lugar único entre los escritores de su país con sus novelas y sus relatos basados en el tema de la deformidad espiritual del ser humano y la huida de la redención. Nació en Savannah (Georgia) el 25 de marzo de 1925, y estudió en el State College femenino de Georgia y en la Universidad de Iowa. Pasó la mayor parte de su vida en Milledgeville (también en Georgia), donde se dedicó a la cría de pavos y a la literatura. La obra de O'Connor consta esencialmente de dos novelas y dos volúmenes de relatos breves, y se ha calificado como una peculiar combinación de gótico sureño, profecía y evangelismo católico. Las dos novelas son Sangre sabia (1952) y Los profetas (1960); sus colecciones de relatos llevan el título de Un hombre bueno no es fácil de encontrar (1955) y Las dulzuras del hogar (1965). A menudo se compara a O'Connor con el novelista estadounidense William Faulkner, por su descripción del carácter y la vida en el sur de Estados Unidos, y con el escritor checo Franz Kafka, por su preocupación por lo grotesco. Uno de los principales temas de su obra es el vano intento del ser humano por escapar a la gracia de Dios. Murió el 3 de agosto de 1964 a consecuencia del lupus, enfermedad que soportó durante los últimos diez años de su vida. © eMe Textos:

Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature American Prose Since 1945: Realism and Experimentation ... Authors Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964) Index Flannery O'Connor, a native of Georgia, lived a life cut short by lupus, a deadly blood disease. Still, she refused sentimentality, as evident in her extremely humorous yet bleak and uncompromising stories. Unlike Porter Welty , and Hurston , O'Connor most often held her characters at arm's length, revealing their inadequacy and silliness. The uneducated southern characters who people her novels often create violence through superstition or religion, as we see in her novel Wise Blood (1952), about a religious fanatic who establishes his own church. Sometimes violence arises out of prejudice, as in "The Displaced Person," about an immigrant killed by ignorant country people who are threatened by his hard work and strange ways. Often, cruel events simply happen to the characters, as in "Good Country People," the story of a girl seduced by a man who steals her artificial leg. The black humor of O'Connor links her with Nathanael West and Joseph Heller. Her works include short story collections (

Extractions: Dr. Joan Buckleys Contemporary American Literature class was not the first place Id encountered Flannery OConnors story, A Good Man is Hard to Find. It was upon this reading and discussion of the story, however, that I became intrigued by OConnors writing style. As is quite noticeable in A Good Man is Hard to Find, OConnor often uses shocking and gruesome situations to convey moral lessons. My interests in both art and religion led me to explore the similarities between OConnors literary technique and grotesque medieval artwork and literature. As the paper illustrates, OConnors use of grace in the midst of violence can be better understood when compared to similar themes from the Middle Ages. The Paradox of the Grotesque and Grace in Flannery OConnors A Good Man is Hard to Find: A Casebook Study Katie Pence Upon initially reading Flannery OConnors work, one would have no problem recognizing her use of shocking, violent, or despairing themes. It may not be as easy, however, to completely accept or understand her style. According to Patrick Galloway, one must be initiated to her trademarks when reading any of her two novels or thirty-two short stories (1).

Extractions: Her next stint came when she enrolled in Georgia State College for Women (GSCW), where she was art editor of The Colonnade , the bi-weekly newspaper that featured her cartoons until her graduation in 1945. The professors there, however, treated cartooning contemptuously, an irritation to OConnor, who could see no level of distinction between this medium, her painting, or her literary endeavors. Her senior year saw her appointed as the features editor of The Spectrum , GSCWs yearbook, in which she abandoned her linocut methodologies for more convention charcoal or ink renditions, splattered throughout its pages. It was during this same year that her role as author began to emerge to the forefront, showcased in particular when she became editor of The Corinthian , the campus literary magazine. Still, she could not resist the temptation to use linocut and spot illustration to adorn the papers prosody and prose. The icing on the cake came when she was inaugurated into the Phoenix Society, an honor only the very top elect of the senior class was awarded.

Extractions: The Collected Works Robin Darling Young The author of The Violent Bear It Away If categories are invoked, OConnor is readily identifiable as a Southern and Catholic writer. To consign authors to the categories of the regional and religious is usually to diminish them by convenience; fortunately OConnors writing defies diminution, because she wrote of the cities of God and man with a consciousness filled by something larger than merely a religious view, or a worldview, or a tradition. Her voice sounded a particular note, her eye saw and her hands crafted tales that told particular stories of the country to which she truly belongedin the words of a contemporary author, John Casey, "that historical glacier the Church." That is why it is not wholly correct to say, as the dustjacket of the otherwise excellent

http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~women/monsters/siesing/feelings/web/sg3.html

Extractions: Flannery O'Connor uses the Grandmother, Ruby Turpin, to contrast with the characters of Bailey and the Misfit. She represents feeling in the novel, a typical doting grandmother who is guided by her feelings and sensitivity, two personality traits that eventually lead to her downfall. Ruby is controlled by the so called rules of society. She is a proper Southern Woman who is preoccupied with keeping up appearances and focusing on the seemingly absurd aspects of life. O'Connor is not delicately portraying Ruby. She blatantly composes her as narrow minded and consumed by her emotions: ...O'Connor's characters-whose humanity if not their sanity is taken for granted, and who are miserable, ugly narrow-minded, atheistic...with not a graceful, pretty one anywhere who is not, at the same time, a joke...(Walker 52) Ruby easily fits into this category. She is excessively annoying, and she subversively undermines everything to serve herself. She does not want to go on the trip, so she complains and brings her cat. She wants a cultural experience rather than a trip to the beach, so she sends Bailey on a wild goose chase searching for a "haunted plantation". The reader sees Ruby as a weak person. She is nostalgic and she clings to the past. Because feeling is represented through this character, we begin to associate emotions as negative character flaws; uncontrollable and silly. The grandmother seems confident with her flawed identity. She thinks of herself as a refined individual, but her life is stagnant because she accepts herself as she is and is not interested in true transcendence:

Extractions: Questions of religion. Who was the momentary messiah- the fleeting Jesus-the Judas mother giving up her son in hopes that she might live? These are questions prompted by the writer Flannery O'Connor in her story, "A Good Man is Hard to Find." In an attempt to address some of these issues, we have included two analysis which cover the themes of the dysfunctional family and the role of Christianity in the piece. Intros to the Essays Secker: This essay discusses the story from several perspectives taken from another E316 class. Themes of dysfunctionalism, as well as evolutionary changes in society are examined in the following Research Brief on "A Good Man Is Hard To Find."
