Southern Gothic is a genre with a mood that combines Southern details, such as small-town life, with terror or suspense. Unlike early gothic literature about vampires and ghosts, Flannery O’Connor and others began writing about the monsters around us in everyday life. A key characteristic of this genre is having deeply flawed characters. In “A Good Man is Hard To Find,” both the grandmother and The Misfit are deeply flawed characters for very different reasons. The Misfit is a murderer who seems to have been created by a failed penal system, while the grandmother seems like a proper lady at first, but turns out to be selfish, a racist, and ultimately gets her whole family killed. It is through these characters that O’Connor explores the theme of good and evil, and whether people are truly capable of change.

In what ways can names be empowering?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Empower means to be confident and strong in life and claiming their rights.

Names can be empowering in many ways as sometimes names give you the confidence or power of doing something in which your name is based on. For example - if a girl name "Trudy", it is a German name which means “spear of strength”. Whenever a person feels depressed or non-powerful, their names can make them remember and give strength to become like the name they got.

Names can be limiting as well that bounds a person in its boundaries and limit themselves to open up. Sometimes, the negative meaning name gives negative values to the person and limit their capabilities of empowerment.

<u>In class we can follow the following steps that our names are always empowering and never limiting:</u>

  • Find the positive meaning of their own names.
  • To conduct an activity in which every student randomly say a few positive words for each other based on their names.

Match the transcendental authors to their works. ""Nature"" Woman in the Nineteenth Century Walden ""Orphic Sayings"" Amos Brons
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

"Nature"- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

"Woman in the Nineteenth Century" - Margaret Fuller.

"Walden" - Henry David Thoreau.

""Orphic Sayings" - Amos Bronson Alcott.

Explanation:

Transcendentalism is a philosophical movement that developed during the early 19th century. This philosophical belief held that divinity supersedes all things and the goodness of people and also emphasizes greatly on the themes of individualism and self-reliance along with optimism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote the essay "Nature" where the foundation of the philosophy of transcendentalism is put forth.

Margaret Fuller's "Woman in the Nineteenth Century", became one of the most prominent feminist documents during that time.

"Walden" by Henry David Thoreau reflects on the tranquility and importance of living in nature and simple living.

"Orphic Sayings" by Amos Bronson Alcott contains numerous sayings of the transcendentalist writer, which many other transcendentalist writers think is just silly and unintelligible.
