Abstract
The writer discusses the duties and involvement that women had in the way as well as examples of patriotism shown by women. We are also given some examples of female heroines from the war.
From the paper:
?When we think about a Southern Belle, we envision a pale, fragile wisp of a woman who swoons if it gets to hot. She is delicate and beautiful and must be taken care of by a man. Over the last centuries this is the image that we have adopted when it comes to the way we perceive Southern women. The reality however is much different. Even during the Civil War women of the Confederate side were tough, capable and willing to do what ever it took to win the war effort against the North.?

Abstract
This paper evaluates the title of Flannery O'Connor's book, "A Good Man is Hard to Find" from the perspective of the grandmother character in the book. More specifically, the paper analyzes the title from the grandmother's perspective of a good man and the individual's ability to find goodness from within the soul. As an example of this perspective, the paper points out that the grandmother continuously discusses the concept of a 'good man' as she views main in relation to society. When conversing with the mechanic, Red, the grandmother contends that he was taken advantage of by others because he was naturally good, and therefore, a "good man". The paper explains that this conversation suggests that a good man is one that treats others kindly and that attempts to do his utmost in order to be honorable within the social order.

Abstract
This paper will approach Aristotle's "good man" in terms of both Aristotle's "Nichomachean Ethics" and his "Politics". It will be argued that the "good man's" relationship with the ideal polis can only be understood in terms of the ethical and political distinction Aristotle draws between the "good man" and the "good citizen". While in the ideal polis the two are identical, in the real world they are separate more often than not. From this perspective, the "good man" may be seen to vindicate the ideal polis in that the perfection of the state is dependent upon all its component units being good.

Abstract
This paper examines how Flannery O?Connor?s ?A Good Man is Hard to Find?, set in the rural South, is character-driven. It looks at how she effectively uses her characters to symbolize truth and the human problem, which is universal. In particular, it shows how, through the characterization of the Grandmother, she gives her work vitality, allowing the work to take on a life of its own. It also explores how O?Connor uses the story, ?A Good Man is Hard to Find,? to further her message that society is headed in the wrong direction by using the grandmother?s characterization to get the message across and accomplish her goal.
From the Paper
"O?Connor uses characterization to make the reader not only see and hear the grandmother, but to look into the grandmother?s empty life. By the middle of the story, readers feel pity for the grandmother. She talks and talks, yet says nothing at all. Family is all around her, yet she does not connect with them. She is lonely and really has no one. She mumbles through life, with no mention of dreams for tomorrow, only that things are terrible today. She has no real purpose in life and there are no signs of any spirituality. She only thinks longingly of times and places that are no longer a part of this world. In essence, the grandmother is shallow."

Abstract
The paper discusses how "Big Black Good Man," one of a series of short stories in the book "Eight Men", by Richard Wright in which he clearly shows how black males were wrongly perceived by society in the mid-1900s. The paper further shows that, Olaf, the protagonist, may deceive himself that he is not a racist, yet the readers quickly recognize him for "showing his true colors." The paper discusses that, even at the end ,one is unsure whether or not Olaf recognizes the truth about himself.
From the Paper
"The tranquil scene in the hotel totally changes when Jim, a huge "ebony giant," (96) comes looking for a room. Olaf is immediately overwhelmed by disdain and fear as his shallow, insolated world is disturbed. It is not just Jim's race, but the totality of his size, color and attitude that Olaf cannot handle. The way that he reacts to Jim demonstrates how Olaf sees others not by who they are as a person, but rather by their outward appearance."

Abstract
This paper examines the story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O?Connor, which is set in the South and contains some of the typical Southern attitudes that were prevalent in the area. It demonstrates how these attitudes were deeply rooted through the comments made by the character Grandmother. It looks at how the reality of the character of the Misfit demonstrates the stereotypes about social class and upbringing by contrasting the reality of the character with Grandmother?s stereotypes. It shows how the misfit is a significant character in illustrating the prevalence of common misconception in the Southern United States.
From the Paper
"The southern stereotypes are recited again and again by Grandmother. Grandmother judges the man by his looks and the clothes he wears, she totally ignores the explanation by the Misfit about stealing them. For Grandmother, it is all about how he looks on the outside now.
"Listen," the grandmother almost screamed, "I know you're a good man. You don't look a bit like you have com- mon blood. I know you must come from nice people? {O?Connor, p. 147). She repeats it again on the same page, "Yes, it's a beautiful day," said the grandmother. "Listen," she said, "you shouldn't call yourself The Misfit because I know you're a good man at heart. I can just look at you and tell " {O?Connor, p. 147)"

Abstract
This paper discusses Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find". The story is analyzed and presented as an example of supreme irony. The writer shows how the story, steeped in irony is a competition between situational iIrony and tragic irony. The author also illustrates how the plot takes the reader through several unexpected twists ending in numbing tragedy.
From the Paper
"The narrative begins innocently enough-comedic even. The family is planning a short vacation to Florida. The matriarch of the family does not want to; preferring instead, to visit her girlhood home in Tennessee. She has read about three escaped convicts. She does not communicate this fear with her family. Perhaps she is not afraid. In her estimation, that happenstance is not likely but certainly worth a few jokes. At this point, the reader is not aware that this information is a portent. Faced with pressure from her son, his wife and her grandchildren, she relents. The next day the family embarks on the short journey across state lines."
