Response Reading For “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor One thing that I’ve learned for sure is that most of the famous writers (so far‚ that is) have died at an early age. I see in her bio that O’Connor was one of them. Ok here we go; I see that I am in for a bizarre climax. [1] Well now‚ Mrs. Freeman‚ she sounds like a stubborn person to me‚ one who hates to admit when she’s wrong. She sounds just like my mother-in-law.

Two years later his younger brother died from the measles and he became very depressed. Later on in his life‚ he was influenced strongly by anti-Semitic war propaganda and slowly became the man the world

of the most essential steps for people learning a new language. English is not my first language‚ it is my third‚ and I have spent a lot of time and effort to going through these steps.

ARE HUMAN GOOD OR EVIL Are Human Good or Evil? Are they good or are they evil? All people are born selfish and will only seek their own interest and that this selfishness often leads to violence and war. I thought that one supreme ruler should rule all people in order to prevent ruckus. On the other hand I believe that the natural state of humans was one of peace and harmony.

humor in general‚ most often contains the tragic. Throughout her works‚ specifically "Good Country People‚" O’Connor uses her humor to humble and expose the biases of the overly intellectual and spiritually bankrupt.

Immediately‚ the reader begins chuckling at these two from a decided feeling of superiority

Many people idiotically believe they know everything about life; they make up their sets of beliefs and think they are above everyone. Nevertheless‚ the short story “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor demonstrates how even the most literate nihilistic person can be tricked by the simplest uneducated one. Joy/Hulga discovered that her believe in nothing‚ was in reality nothing that had rock-solid foundations. People such as Joy/Helga are allowed to go up to a pedestal by all the people who surround
