A Good Man It Hard To Find
1,007 wordsA Good Man is Hard to Find To the inexperienced, the writing of Flannery O'Connor can seem at once cold and dispassionate, as well as almost absurdly harsh and violent. Her short stories normally end in horrendous, freak fatalities or, at the very least, a character's emotional devastation. In reality, her writing is filled with meaning and symbolism, hidden in a flawless narrative style that is not biased, dogmatic, or of personal belief. Flannery O'Connor is a Christian writer, and her work is...

Proof tells the captivating story of a woman and her eccentric family. Drama quickly begins as the characters advance in their quest for an enigmatic proof. While a few critics argued that Proof is merely a family soap opera with mathematical references to give the play scope, I thought Proof was triumphant. I went to see the Broadway play last Dece...

Steinbeck, who was the author of the book, did not try to make all the brutal details of the Great Depression softer.
