Flannery O'Connor/"Good Man" & Revelation
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes, contrasts and compares two short stories by O'Connor, "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and "Revelation." In both of these narratives, O'Connor offers detailed characterizations that, intertwined with violence, aid the reader in perceiving religious, social and philosophical issues that pertain to Southern culture and its changing nature during O'Connor's era. While O'Connor does not state any overt religious message in these narratives, in both stories she indicates through the events described certain truths concerning the darker recesses of the human psyche, particularly in regards to the Southern women who are her protagonists, relating these themes to her own unique religious and spiritual perspective.

Form & Function in 20th Century Architecture
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper giving a general overview of modern architecture. Architecture may have witnessed more changes in the 20th century than at any other time aside from the shift from mud huts to more permanently constructed buildings. When form reigned supreme, people were forced to adapt to the structure and not all were privy to having any sort of structure they could call their own. But with the advent of the idea of people first with buildings serving their needs, function took the lead, letting form grow from the function needed in any specific structure.
