Flannery O Connor's Dream

Decent Essays
I think that Connor felt the same feeling as the ending of his dream. Maybe the end of his dream has to do with fear or worry but if it is the same feeling then i have no clue what his dream is or even his fear. I think Connor is thinking about the consequences of what the monster had him do or even what he done. I can relate to this because i know what it's like having the feeling once you realized you did something wrong but then you didn't realize it. That feeling has a strong impact especially on Connor and i feel as though he doesn't even know what he's afraid of or even what to do after he destroyed his grandmother's house.

    As the common saying goes, pride comes before the fall. Pride in one’s self can lead to very sinful patterns, and this can cause a shrinking of faith. Living as a Christian, one wants to lead a God-pleasing, humble life in thanks to the Lord for all he has done. In “Revelation” by Flannery O’Connor, due to the pride she has in herself, Mrs. Turpin shows readers how having a worldly mindset rather than focusing on God can hurt one’s perception of others. To begin, Mrs. Turpin held pride in her ethnicity and used it as a tool to place herself above those of other races.…

    Flannery O'Connor's, "The Artificial Nigger" impresses me even though the n word is used consistently throughout the short story. The n word does not scare me, but does make me uncomfortable with repetitive use. The racial slur strips African Americans of their identity and is one of the most demeaning words in the English language. I believe works of art can be impressive even if they make the reader question morality. Part of the reason O'Connor's story is impressive is because of how uncomfortable the reader feels.…
