I learned that I have to look towards myself, and make myself "prefect" before I can critique others and their flaws. That I shouldn't believe that I'm better than anyone, and that I should be totally reliant on God.

When reading about Flannery O'Connor, her story moved me to learn more about where she had come from and her influence with God, and Catholicism. All while trying to teach the 20th century, that no one is perfect. Everyone was flaws, and is made to be who they were meant to be. You can only be able to express what your own character is. Teaching the faith, she can be able to create stories to help one another understand his message, and reach out for those who are in need of it. I obviously know myself that I have gone through some things that can be able to effect my life. Nothing too large, or tremendous, but each of us have had struggles that we can be able to push through and hopefully come on top. She was a very special person, and has done so many wonderful things from the prime of her life, until the end when her disease ended it.

As an avid writer, I admire Flannery's ability to seamlessly mesh Catholicism with more taboo writing of the time. The stories do not outwardly scream a message of Catholicism, but certainly do have an underlying theme that consequently appeals to all kinds of people. I can apply her use of the faith in every area of her life to my own, remembering to include my faith in everything I can.

Flannery was a natural born story teller. She her short stories are art and she is the creative artist. She was able to use her artistic story-telling gift to write stories that pertain and tie into catholic teachings. I have learned that these forms of story-telling can be created and read as art, and by doing this we can learn different peoples ideas and beliefs.

Flannery O'Connor is truly an inspiration to writers everywhere. She masterfully blends humor and a strong narrative into her stories. Rather than explicitly stating Catholic ideologies, she incorporates symbols of Catholicism into her writing. She was very devoted to her faith, which I think is really admirable. I can apply her devotion to Catholicism to my life as well.

I like that she subtly applied her faith to her writing. Something I have learned from her and her stories is to truly look at how you act towards people, and that it is okay to ask God for help and forgiveness and recognizing your wrongdoings.

What I find so fascinating isn't O'Conner being Catholic but where she was living Catholic in Georgia. The Southern part if America is very slim in terms of number of Catholics living in the south. By her using her faith and the uncommon location to worship that faith. She was able to create uniquely wonderful works of literature by using here southern experience with her catholic faith. Her work and catholic message was able to stand the test of time be being so unique and well written. O'Conner has shown me the impact of embracing your own positive oddities. To help brining something new to the table and give yourself a sense of purpose and identity.
