Write an argumentative essay that identifies/uncovers a significant undercurrent in Flannery
Oââ¬â¢Connorââ¬â¢s writing. What you should find is an ââ¬Åundercurrentââ¬Â becauseââ¬âwhile it can be observed (it recurs) in
several worksââ¬âit is not so obvious (it is under the surface). This could be a pattern in terms of theme,
characterization, narrative technique, strategy . . . etc. Also, it is ââ¬Åsignificantââ¬Â because it teaches us something
about Oââ¬â¢Connorââ¬â¢s work, world, and/or worldview. A good argument is based on sound logic/reasoning and
reliable evidence.
Here are the stories we have read so far:
