Suellen Storquio suellensb — Introduction Flannery O’Connor was a very accomplished writer during her day. She was a very determined Catholic writer who believed in herself. She was strongly opinionated and went for what she wanted in life. After her father’s death, she branched out and graduated high school and college where she then published essays, letters, short stories, and novels. She won many awards for her works and accomplished all of her goals, except her last novel. The death of her illness kept her from finishing it, so it was kept as a short story for the world to love. Story I think is good work The story that I picked for my author’s work is, Everything that Rises Must Converge. I picked this story because it was appeared in the ABC’s hit show, LOST. The story is about a boy who tries to teach his mother a lesson. She is stuck in the world she has always known in the South against negroes, and does not want to let them into her world. When Jilian, the boy, takes his mother downtown to the Y, they take the bus to get there. Before getting to the bus, he and his mother were arguing about the purple hat she was wearing because she said she would get better use out of the seven fifty than that hat. He insisted she keep it and that it looked fine on her. A black woman and her son got on the bus after them. The black negro woman had on the exact same hat at Jilians mother. She was mortified. Jilian decided to teach his mother a lesson that it is okay that a high class woman of the opposite color was wearing the same thing. The mother got furious and when they got off the bus, she tried to hand the little black boy a nickel. The black lady through a tantrum and ran off. Jilian’s mom freaked out and collapsed. Jilian ran off for help but knew it was too late and his guilt was hurting him. I believe it is a good piece of work because it reminds us about how hard it was for the whites and blacks to finally get a long in the South. It shows us what the blacks had to go through while doing the exact same things to whites were, but the whites couldn’t accept them as equal. And finally, it shows us that trying to teach someone a lesson can be hurtful, and there is another way of doing it usually. O’Connor, Flannery. The Complete Stories. Fourteenth Printing. 1979. Canada and USA. Influences Sr. Rose Pacatte wrote an article, Teaching a Chicken to Walk Backwards (Why Flannery O’Conner matters), and I found more information than I could imagine. In just one website I found everything that I need to know about Flannery O’ Conner. What was awesome to find was someone who influenced O’ Conner with her writing. The French Philosopher, Jesuit Peirre Teilhard de Chardin, came up with the idea of “Omega Point” in which O’ Conner got her book title, Everything That Rises Must Converge, from. Sr. Rose states that O’ Conner uses Chardin’s idea to “changing racial realities and attitudes in the American south by the convergence – or collision – of two mother and son pairs, one white and one black.” Also, the cite had many compliments from people in the world that have been influenced by O’ Conner’s work and how it is still important today. A friend of Sr. Rose, Randy Testa, states that O’ Connor matters because of the way she altered grace in her life, her work, and because of who and how she came up with her stories. Sr. Rose stated that Testa quoted from O’ Connor and that is what got her interested in her works. He quoted about Catholics and that is what intrigued her. Katy Carl, who is the editor of Catholic literary journal “Dappled Things,” is very fascinated with O’ Connor. She is influenced by her because she is Catholic as well and she believes that O’ Connor lived and very well loving life. She liked how she could write funny to seriousness, and vision to absolute truth. Sr. Rose Pacatte. Teaching a Chicken to Walk Backwards: Why Flannery O’Connor Matters. National Catholic Reporter Publishing Company. 3 March 2011. http://ncronline.org/news/women/teach... Background information Flannery O’Connor was born in Savannah Georgia on March 25, 1925. She was born an only child to the parents of Edward Francis O’Connor Jr. and Regina Cline O’Connor. Her father was a real estate agent and also a vet of the World War I. She was raised as a Catholic in the south, and took it very seriously. She always believed that she was on the same level as adults, such as her teachers and parents. She called her parents by their first names and when talking to the teachers, they said that she always thought she was on the same level as them. Flannery taught a chicken how to walk forward and backward when she was five and when it was told to the news, it went big. The chicken was put into a movie that was showed in many theatres across the world. At age 12, the family moved to Milledgeville, Georgia where she attended public school for the first time. Her father soon died at the age of 45 from the disease Lupus that really hit hard on Flannery. When graduating high school, she attended Georgia State College for Women, continuing writing short stories and submitting them to the school newspaper. After graduating college, she moved to Iowa to the state college to join their writing program. O’Connor wrote many short stories and few novels that received many awards during her time. It was August 3, 1964 that she lost her life to kidney failure. She was young at the age of 39. Reuben, Paul P. "Chapter 10: Flannery O'Connor."

Historical effects on her writing During Flannery O’Connor’s time, the Civil War was in action. She took the fall of men to heart and shared her thoughts through her writings. She compared the civil war to the fall of men in the Bible and shared this with her southerners. She was a true southern girl and loved to share what it was like to live there. She would write not only her personal experiences, but the understanding of the south so that everyone could understand what it was like. In her era, she experienced what it was like to live in the south and the north (Midwest). She explained the differences of the two and how much she loved the south. Understanding what it is to be a true Catholic had a big effect on her writing. Explaining to the world what she understood and believed in was a highlight to her. Being able to put into words for everyone to read is a personal feeling that many cannot understand, but to her it was just what she loved to do. Reuben, Paul P. "Chapter 10: Flannery O'Connor."
