American Literature was shaped in part by the traditions of the Southern Gothic Genre. Southern Gothic literature has many of the same aspects as Gothic literature, it focuses on many topics such as death, madness, and the supernatural as well as had many mystical, violent, and grotesque aspects. The traits of this genre include Race/Class/ Social Structure, unrequited love, good vs evil, being an outsider, and violence. Three important short stories are Possibility of Evil, A Good Man is…

yet most of the money goes towards the 1%, and select political leaders, such as President Ali Bongo (McLure, 2012). This region looks economically hopeful, yet at the current outlook, disparity of wealth and corruption run rampant (McLure, 2012). Southern Africa is comprised of the continent’s most wealthy and economically integrated nations, flourishing economically from gem-trading (McLure, 2012). Exports to foreign nations (notably the EU and China) will help their slowly emerging economy,…

Violence in the Works of Flannery O’Connor “First responses to O’Connor are invariably extreme. Forgetting about the stoning of St. Stephen or Herod’s slaughter of the innocents or even the cross itself, many first-time readers of O’Connor, knowing that she is a Christian writer, re puzzled by her grotesqueries and the violence of her vision. The problem is, of course, that most readers possess flimsy ideas about what is “Christian” literature and what is not” (Baumgaertner 19). Flannery…

Suspenseful. Thrilling. Mysterious. Those are just some of the amazing qualities of Harper Lee’s work in chapter seven. I think Harper Lee wrote chapter seven in To Kill a Mockingbird to make people think about who the Radley’s could be. After reading chapter seven, I had to think about the events that occurred during that chapter and how they would impact the characters and the rest of the book. Lee wrote the chapter to also create suspense. When I read that Jem’s pants were sewn up, I felt a…

Flannery’s short story “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” is one of her pieces that has a lot of literary criticism, and is her best-known story because of how popular it was. This short story is a great example of Southern Gothic Literature. Sylvia Bailey Sherman once said in her article “O’Connor favors a limited omniscient point of view, which generally focuses on a particular character’s flawed perception of reality—in this case, that character is the grandmother”…

"You never truly understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around," said Atticus effectively summarizing the difficulty of understanding Boo Radley (Lee 30).
