Review of Greenleaf 5/5 ⭐️
This story is very well done. I feel bad for Mrs. May, a poor bitter woman who is defined by her envy, jealousy, and pride. A classic depiction of someone who works so hard, but doesn’t enjoy life. I usually don’t buy into asking myself about symbolism in books, but this one forced me to ask: did O’Connor write the bull as some sort of symbolic embodiment, or literally? Answer TBA

Review of Everything That Rises Must Converge:
4/5 stars, I love how this short story is written. It’s very relatable to a young adult with more ‘radical social norms’ compared to their parents ‘old world’ Although this short story explores that notion to the extremes it is very well done and enticing.
I look forward to reading more of Flannery O’Connor in this collection
