read for class
I had to read from Flannery O’Connor back in high school and I hated the story that we read. So much so that as a result, I wasn’t a huge fan of Flannery O’Connor.

After reading this story, Everything that Rises Must Converge, I think I like her a little more. This story was much better than A Good Man is Hard to Find, which is what I read in high school. I actually enjoyed this one.

I will say that the man thing that I disliked about both this story and A Good Man Is Hard to Find is their open endings. I hate open endings as a whole, and I think Flannery O’Connor’s insistence on them makes her writing and the stories feel cheap.
