inferior so that the white race could continue their rationalization for enslaving a segment of

of awareness to magnify the ultimate futility and irrationality in adhering to such views. No

Flannery O'Connor /Theme And Symbolism : 5 pages in length. "I suspect that most of
you have been telling stories all your lives…" is the assumption Flannery O'Connor makes
in her lecture entitled Writing Short Stories. For it is difficult for O'Connor to fathom that
people perceive writing fiction as a chore, when it is something she achieves as though it
were of no effort whatsoever. Her main points to writing good fiction involve the use of
symbolism and theme, which the writer compares and contrasts between two of O'Connor's

Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” / Evil And Christianity :
5 pages in length. On the surface, Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find
appears innocent enough in its content. But as the reader becomes more and more involved
in the underpinnings that embody the story, it is quite clear there is a distinctive flavor of
evil versus Christianity. In fact, it has been argued that the extent to which O'Connor utilizes
the central theme of Christianity is a subtle plot to convert her readers, whom she envisioned
as nonbelievers. By demonstrating to her audience all the good that comes from faith, along
with all the bad that merely begets more evil, it was her intention to enlighten her readership
down the right path. The writer analyzes the concepts of good and evil as they relate to the
story. No other sources used. Hardfind.wps

Flannery O’Connor’s “Revelation” / Analysis : A 5 page paper discussing O’Connor’s
last short story. Written under the influence of O’Connor’s knowledge of the progress of her

Jack London / Life & Works : It has often been suggested that art is an imitation of life.
While such is certainly true, this paper asserts that the reverse is also true, as in the life and
career of American author Jack London. In this 5-page report, the writer examines the
adventurous life of the nomadic London and the impact of his life and personal philosophy
upon his work. The first section examines London’s humble origins and how they formed
the basis for his Social Darwinism and Marxist leanings. Next, London’s family life is
chronicled, with his first marriage being for ‘breeding,’ and the second for love and
companionship. The writings of Jack London are explored in the third section, and how they
reflected his own life in fiction, as inspiration for Buck, the canine hero of "The Call of the
Wild," the unnamed man freezing to death in “To Build a Fire,” and the introspective and
autobiographical John Barleycorn. This report concludes that although Jack London’s life
was not long in terms of years, it was rich in terms of human experience and artistry, and this
life will live on as long as the art is appreciated. Bibliography lists 8 sources. JLondon.wps
