“The Lame Shall Enter First”
Flannery O’Connor’s story “The Lame Shall Enter First” is ironic with satire. The story talks about the “GOOD” and “BAD”. Like the heaven and the hell. It shows many symbolisms; what is right or wrong. I personally do not like the story, I do not like sad story, especially because Norton committed a suicide. I know that he believes that doing that he could be close to his mother. But for me, I believe in l life after death. I believe that God is the only one with the power to decide when our time here is over or no. Metaphors characterize the story every time the author refers the characters to some kind of food. The ten-year-old boy Norton is the main character. This dramatic story is very long

“Everything That Rises Must Converge"
I really enjoyed the story.The main point of the story is a historical criticism related with social conflicts as racism, and feminism. The auhtor, used to be a feminist, and she worte many stories aproaching this subject. I have a feeling that O'Connor put some of her experiencies on her stories, including "Everything That Rises Must Converge".
The setting of the story is Savanna.
The story has a lot of symbolism, as an example when Jillian's mother gives a little black boy a penny on the bus. When she gives the penny to the balck boy, it give me an idea of a subimission. It is way she sees black people, as people below to her class. People, which depends on them, the "whites".The hat, and letter Y are also anothers symbolism that I found.
Julian is the progatonist.And he is a round character. His mother is
The fictinal story is also ironic.

A Pair of Tickets - Reviewed
This is the story that enjoyed read the most since we started this class. The Chinese culture is very interesting. I never been in China and I do not know much about the Chinese people, besides go out every Friday to have lunch at my favorite Chinese restaurant in Sarasota. But the story really touches my heart. I imagined myself many times as part of that trip with June and his father.
I was not sure about the main character. I would say June (the daughter). But I am confused about it. The whole story involves her mother. The story is a memoir of her mother’s life and June childhood memories. We also can find some foreshadows. Things that June wants to happen, but it really happen that way he wants. And things that thinks and it happen. I wish his mom was alive. I also imagined the reaction of her twin sisters after so many years meeting their mom. The story is very sentimental, it made me cry. The story also tells about what the Chinese people suffered in the past with the revolution, when the author mentioned that time that June’s mom left the twin back. The story also talks about acceptance. The narrator own acceptance into her Chinese culture.
