Flannery o Connor is a very well-known author of many short stories and is considered one of the greatest fictional writers. Born in Georgia in the savannah area, she then moved to Milledgeville to start her writing career at GCSU. Growing up in the south she was around a lot of the racism and discrimination during that time period. These stories that I have chosen which are “The Artificial Nigger” which is about Mr. Nelson a guy visiting Georgia with one other person and he is very surprised about seeing all the black people.

They have a crazy experience during their time in Atlanta and when then get back on the bus they have a mind blowing discovery that Atlanta and the reality of racism is wild. He thinks to himself that dang that is crazy how we struggle with our relationship with different colors at that time. Now in the revelation it takes a tole and she finally hits earth and that time when she enters her house she has many sorrow thoughts. Her mind then goes into a god given gift like she was set out to do this. After reading revelation it put a big turn on the way I saw some things. Then judgement day which is the third and final story I had to compare the similar connection between these stories by Mrs. O Connor. Going through with moving in with his daughter he finally has enough and leaves. Walking out the door he suddenly has another stroke. Right there watching it all in person was those neighbors. And so now when the neighbors leave them do him dirty by not calling anybody but just moving his body and leaving. Ending in burying him in New York he never wanted she felt guilty and burying him back in the home
