Mariah Wolford 10/13/11 Clare 105 PRO- Has the president become too strong? In today’s world‚ our President needs to be strong and influential. Congress used to have the time to debate every issue.

In Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find”‚ the grandmother claims to be religious but‚ is‚ in fact‚ a hypocrite who lacks self-awareness. The grandmother in “A Good Man is Hard to Find” exemplifies what it means to be a fake. She is a liar‚ racist‚ and judger. All of these attributes go against the beliefs of the Catholic Church‚ but the grandmother
