...As a Southerner, a Christian, and a woman, Flannery O’Connor often viewed life from a depth that is more increased from that of the rest of society. Many people have considered O’Connor’s works controversial from the time she first started writing; To this day, O’Connor’s work causes strong emotion among its readers, however, much like other writers advocating for something or against something during O’Connor’s time, she has had to fight in order to make people care. O’Connor blatantly expressed her religious views in her stories and consistently critiqued controversial themes and real-world issues in her writing, such as racism, Catholic doctrine, finding meaning in life, and possessing world-influenced, consumeristic views about how life should be. As a result, she experienced harsh criticism from the majority of people who read her work. This essay will give examples of the ways Flannery O’Connor’s used two of her short stories to provided commentary and challenge and change the thinking of American readers in order to prevent their apathy....

...to spend time with my other family.” (Smith) She just wanted everything to be whole again as I wish my family would have been. The topic discussed is everything she has to, and as every other kid has to deal with while their parents are divorced. It is important because in my paper I talk about how it is to have two separate families… It is not fun at all. She could not deal with having two families so slowly she began to avoid one side and soon after that she said “So one day I told my dad that I didn’t want to visit any more.” (Smith) Could you imagine how hard that is to tell one of your parents? I could have never said that to either side of my family. As a ten year old and making that much of a life decision is crazy. The writer of this story kind of just told the story instead of showing it. Like when she says” The power struggle that had lain dormant between my parents erupted again, and this time it was directed at me. This time, I was responsible for the discord. In one house, I was blamed; in the other, I was a victim.” (Smith) she should show us how it erupted and how she was the one being blamed in one house and the victim in the other. Also never shows what her family looks like, or her family before the divorce. Besides that she...

...world to be a perfect place, a sort of utopia. He created all creatures, planets, sky, plants, animals, and humans. This was the beginning of the love story. God had created those who He wanted to have a relationship with. This relationship was scarred and destroyed by sin. Sin, is the complete enemy of God. For me, as a child, my family was Christian. I grew up knowing that God was real and there was a heaven and hell. While, I wanted to follow this of my own will, I fell away from the holy road that God had wanted for me. I fell into a relationship with a married man. This relationship affected my relationship with God. I knew that this relationship was wrong, but I really felt that I was in love with him. He made me feel special and a way that I had never felt before. Well, one day the relationship was discovered. It was mayhem. This relationship destroyed my relationship with him and his family and made the relationship with my family very rocky. I was a betrayer, a liar, a sneak, and deceiver. For many years, I felt like that. There was no forgiveness for all that I did and caused. This man lost his wife because when she found out she divorced him. Looking back now, I can completely understand her reaction. I really felt that there was forgiveness for everyone else in the world, just not me. I wanted to live a life that would be pleasing to God, but that ever present feeling of sin was with me wherever I went. It stayed with me. Then one day at church, there was a...

The word is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon which means "organ" – a compartment for a particular task. ORGANISER a person who brings order and organization to an enterprise; "she was the organizer of the meeting" 1. Communicator – the community organizer transfers or transmits information, thought, knowledge etc. to the members of the community.Sharing of information enables the community to be better prepared and empowered with information. The communication between the organizer and the community and within the community is essential. The people have to be prepared and known about the various effects of consequences of the community organization process. The communication takes place by individual contact, group meetings, group discussions, public meetings etc. At times the community organizer takes an upper hand and considers that the people are illiterate and ignorant and hence the dealings with the people become a master slave relationship. In order to avoid any such undesired relationship the community organizer has transparency and communicates with the people. The communication enables better interaction which leads to a healthy relationship and cooperation for further action and response.

...Thurber’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” is a short story that was written in 1937. The story features an elderly man who drives his wife into town for beauty parlor visits and regular weekly shopping. Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” was published in 1894. In this short story Kate Chopin presents her perspective of the repressive role of marriage in the lives of women. This is shown by the fact that the main character, Louise Mallard, thinks that she will find freedom in the death of her husband. Both short stories share common theme of gender roles and marriage. Gender roles are defined as the behavior and attitudes that are strengthened by the stereotypical identity of an individual. The relationships among the form, style, and content of the two stories help us to understanding the essence of gender roles and marriage in the society today and back then. In “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” Walter Mitty is an elder American man who has retired and has nothing else to do except follow his wife around. Walter daydreams about the life he wishes he could have. The main focus of the story is to present a fantasy world rather than a realistic one. “The Story of the Hour” takes on a more dramatic effect. The story reflects an important hour for the main character, Louise Mallard. Louise experiences freedom in this hour. Just like in The Secret Life of Witty where the main focus is on the desire to escape from an ordinary life, so is the case with The Story of the Hour where...

...When I was about three years of age, I was placed into an orphanage with kids about the same age as me. At that time I did not know what was happening, or why I was going there. All that I remember about that day is that an old man with grey hair, a long scruffy beard, and a long-sleeve flannel shirt. I assume that he was my grandfather, but I still haven’t been able to confirm that. Some of the days while I was in the orphanage seemed to drag on for weeks at a time. The orphanage was really big; it was shaped like the letter E, if it was looked at from the sky. While some children played on the well designed play areas, the other children slept in beds for a majority of the day. If any child got up out of their bed, they would get the slipper on their bottom. As any child would do, I kept testing the staff that was in charge of the children sleeping. I was the only one getting the slipper and the other children would be laughing at me. This sometimes would go one for the whole day, but then I realized that it was not getting me anywhere. The children only ate breakfast and dinner; sometimes you wouldn’t get anything if you were very bad. In addition, the only thing that I did not know was that I was going to be adopted. When a mother and a father, about the age of forty to forty-five, came to the orphanage and asked if they could meet me and young boy who was name Sasha. Little did I know that Sasha was my brother. The mother and father told me that he had come to the orphanage...

...I remember when life was simple, and all that mattered to me was watching the Rugrats or Spongebob. As a baby, many people would say I looked Like Tommy Pickles. As I grew a bit older, I began to change, not only physically, but mentally and ethically. I began to learn my how things progressed and learned about the many new rules of life. An important one at the time was washing your hands every time you use the bathroom and brush your teeth each night before you go to bed. I also had many priorities at my age in that point of my life. A very important one was watching the newest episode of Pokemon each Saturday morning or beating that next level in any game on my Game Boy. But now as I see myself growing older, my priorities have shifted in a different direction. I now have to constantly update my status on the social networking site known as Facebook or check my Iphone for that text message from my closest friends. Time progressed and as I grew, I began to think about my past, present, and future. I remember my childhood, and live my life in the present, always moving forward. But thinking about my future is something that was a bit challenging to me. I began to ask my self many questions like “What’s going to happen in a few years? Where will I be? What will I be doing?”. As time went on, would look in the mirror, and I’d ask my self who I see. I see the person I am now. I see the 17 year old young man, who is preparing to take the next big step in his life. A young man filled...

...When my life was quickly falling out of my hands and reality wasn't within reach, I felt helpless. I needed to find a way out somehow, someone or something to influence me in a better way by helping me out of the major hole I had dug myself into. It all began when I moved away from my life in Pennsylvania, and couldn't accept the fact that it was something my parents had to do. I was an emotional mess. I had much anger and no one to vent it on, except my parents, which, most of the time, was pointless. This would just end up being an even bigger mess. So as I began to make friends, I figured why not drown my sorrows in whatever I could possibly find - drugs, alcohol, "fun." I was out on school nights until one or two, planning on not going to school because I thought I had better things to do. As time passed, I began to miss many days of school, causing my grades to fall tremendously. I decided to drop out of the tenth grade. It seemed easier in my eyes, no more waking up at five o'clock - and I could stay out and not feel guilty. I knew somewhat what I was doing; I knew my life was on a downhill slant, and at that time I couldn't do a thing about it. As my friends from the other side saw what I was doing, they decided to do it too, losing everything they had: respect from everyone, parents, relatives, friends, and teachers. So we went on a fantasy trip, not caring about losing our education or love from people who tried to care. We thought it was great to be on our own...
