Rises Must Converge Good Country People
1,549 words
In writing many authors have different techniques
or styles in which they use in order to reveal
their themes. These vehicles are what give fiction
its ability to relate to people and life in
general. By using setting, irony, and
characterization in her short fiction Flannery
OConnor reveals a theme of a both cynical and
sinister universe in which death is imminent and
impartial. She specializes in using artistic
representation of human character or motives to
accentuate this morbid theme. In he...
