Well, i think i dont even need to point out that O'conner has pretty weird stories. They are just the oddest thing ive ever read so i definitely thought i should blog about her as well..is she just as weird as her short stories?
well to start off this short description of her life, i would like to let everyonw know that she taught a chicken to walk backwards at age 6. thats pretty much amazing and makes me love her already. ok anyway, she is a very devout catholic. She is from the south, as im sure we all could have guessed, and she writes in a very Southern Gothic style. Her stories all most likely always disturbing. she was very morally flawed characters and some even describe the stories as horror stories. but O'Conner doesnt like this, she says she just laughs when she reads this. she says her stories are about christian realism. i guess this is what ms. Clinch was saying about how The Misfit is like a deluded version of Christ. I still find this so weird though. I guess because the Misfit brings people to their realization of the world. She finally understands the world i guess? i really am not sure but O' Conner really does make you think...
