Through Her Estate Continued from Page 1 Janie Gildow says. The friendships she’s made, as well as the ritual, have meant the most to Janie. Speaking of the latter, both her father and stepfather were Presbyterian ministers and so she was comfortable and acutely aware of the gravitas of Kappa’s ritual procedures. The Kappa ritual is special and dependable and all Kappas have that unique connection to cherish forever. When the Kappa Foundation started asking for gifts for the Stewart House in the 1990s, one of the avenues for giving was by purchasing a brick for the home’s patio. Janie did not have the money roughly 30 years ago to make a gift, but now she has proudly included the Stewart House in her estate plan. She

    To say that there is no good in evil is to deny the very reality of evil’s existence. Black and white thinking such as the topic previously stated is what truly can hurt us the most. When you look at moral issues you must acknowledge that it is a grey spectrum, with many different viewpoints. If I told any person who has actually read East of Eden that I admired Cathy? They would think me insane and possibly give me some nasty looks, as well as cross the street when I walk past. But since you have to read this essay, I think it’s fair that I make my point. Cathy is a real go-getter, she does what she has to to make ends meet. She isn’t easily swayed, and has a strong moral foundation, whether or not it’s a good one is a moot point. Lastly, she’s not easily discouraged. Even in the face of direct adversity, she brushes herself off and keeps on trucking.…

    From what I see, a large portion of O’Conner’s work take after a comparable example. The principle character are stuck in a trouble situation and toward the end they see the light of God's ways and have their recovery. Christians have frequently commented her works for being corrupted however in reality she utilizes these situations and portrayal to express the force of God in a positive light. The shameless character of the Misfit is skillfully portrayed, just like the "enlightened" character of Grandma. Most of these characters always go through some kind of change in their daily lives. An adjustment in their perspectives of the world and in their observations about existence and passing. Such character in this specific story is Grandma and, as I would like to think, the Misfit. I imagine that…
