Pointer

writing. A Character is a person, or in some cases an animal, who takes part in the action of the story. The "good country people" O'Connor speaks of are Mrs. Hopewell, her daughter Hulga Hopewell, servant Mrs. Freeman, and bible salesman Manly Pointer, each character represents a unique means for trying to reconcile the conflicting expectations of life in the American South. By naming the characters with names which practically expose their approach and meaning in society at large, the…

Flannery O’Conner’s stories explain a lot when it comes to the human mind and violence. Our personalities shift and even break through when we experience something jolting. Violence can return a person to reality, because violence makes life real. Violence breaks us out of our seemingly normal day to day lives and puts reality into perspective. Violence shows us who we are, because we least expect it. Nobody knows how they will react when something happens. We either embrace the situation and…

beautiful most of the time. But visible light can also be dangerous, if used in irresponsible ways. A tool most people don’t think of as being dangerous is a laser pointer. Laser pointer’s lights are not found in nature, they are artificial. The light is made by a battery which powers a small diode. The diode is a small machine in laser pointers with When it is dark outside, your eyes become wider, as to let in more light. Your eyes act like a lense, letting in how much light they want to let…

Southern writer in “Good Country People.” Scholars mostly use the characters, Joy-Hulga who has only one leg and many personal problems, her mother, Mrs. Hopewell who wants her daughter to be what society expects of her, and the Bible salesman, Manley Pointer, a character that appears to be someone he 's not, to argue their stance on this short story. Three specific scholarly articles notice the mother-daughter relationship presented in the story, the similarities between the story and…

lowers her in her mother’s eyes, but also leads her into trouble with Manly Pointer when she assumes him less intelligent when he actually knows more of the world, because Hulga “sat on her neck in a deep chair, reading. Sometimes she went for walks but she didn't like dogs or cats or birds or flowers or nature or nice young men”…

” but somewhere along the line [he] done something wrong and got sent to the penitentiary” (Connor 27) and this act makes him feel compelled to do the things he does. In “Good Country People” the antagonist is Manley Pointer who is a great con-artist and did just that. Manley Pointer is crooked to the core even what he carries with him shows that trait, “[i]t was hollow and contained a pocket flask of whiskey, a pack of cards, and a small blue box with printing on it” (Conner 9) just…

that she is taking advantage of Manley Pointer, the Bible salesman. When Joy/Hulga and Manley Pointer have their first kiss, Joy/Hulga believes that nothing has changed between them and that everything is “a matter of the mind’s control,” (__). Up to his point in the short story, Joy/Hulga has had control. But when Manley Pointer takes Joy/Hulga to the loft, Pointer takes control. Before things get heated, Joy/Hulga says that she is quite a bit older than Pointer. She does this to prove her…

attack code after the return address on the stack, then overwriting the return address with an instruction in the normal code or in a system library that will jump control to the stack pointer, which would be pointing to the location just after the return address. The actual command to jump control to the stack pointer does not have to be present in the code, just the equivalent machine code byte…

another. You’re a perfect Christian, you’re…” (290). This may hint at the idea that Hulga is partly Christian like her mother. This line could also show how naive Hulga is and that she doesn’t understand her beliefs well enough to realize that Manley Pointer was a nihilist similar to Hulga. Manley was a true atheist/nihilist, in comparison to Hulga they are completely different. This leads me to conclude that Hulga has her own beliefs inspired by multiple philosophical ideas such as…

sparked her interest, since she is interested in sea life and the ocean. In the future, I feel like she would enjoy brainstorming with a peer partner. I also think it would be useful to write down her predictions to revisit after she reads. Using a pointer to keep her place during reading, is a very useful strategy for a reader who likes to “race”. It is easy for a student to get off track when they are rushing through. If the student can focus on keeping their finger directly under the word…
