I believe this story is full of examples of women being treated as if they were the lesser sex‚ but there are two examples that really stand out to me. The first example is how the children’s mother is treated. She is proven to be the lesser sex multiple times subtly throughout this piece. She is shown as the primary care taker of the children not the father‚ Bailey. The mother isn’t driving the car that the family took on their trip‚ but instead‚ Bailey is (O’Connor 297).

Hard Times Symbolism‚ Imagery & Allegory Sometimes‚ there’s more to Lit than meets the eye. Fairy Palaces and Elephants (a.k.a. Factories and the Machinery inside them) This one is from the narrator and runs throughout the novel: the idea that the ugly‚ square‚ fact-based‚ oppressive mills look like fairy palaces with elephants in them when they are lit up at night. The image first pops up as something a person riding by Coketown in a fast-moving train might say – in other words‚ someone who

The stories of "Young Goodman Brown"� by Nathaniel Hawthorne and "A Goodman is Hard to Find"� by Flannery O’ Connor clearly illustrate pure evil.

way modern law enforcement in America is able to use force when dealing with citizens is the U.S. Supreme Court case Graham v.
