    Both of the women remain nameless; the grandmother is referred to throughout as “grandmother” or “the old lady” and similarly, Julian’s mother is referred to as “Julian’s mother” throughout the story. Both females belong to an earlier generation of the American South and came from prominent families but are now living in less than perfect circumstances. In both stories, the females recall their family histories. Despite their poverty, both try to appear proper by dressing up and believe in the importance of a person “knowing who they are”. With all of these similarities, it seems fitting that O’Connor has both characters experience “grace” in a violent manner before meeting their death. The grandmother dies with her legs crossed in a childlike manner and her face “smiling up at the cloudless sky (cite).” Julian’s mother too reverts to her childhood, calling for her African-American nanny…

    Grace's motives seem to be fairly simple, as they are based mostly on a love interest of Mr. Kinnear. Mr. Kinnear's love interest is Nancy Montgomery, who Grace absolutely despises. This hatred has more to do than the fact that Nancy involved herself with Thomas Kinnear, but also because Grace considers her to have multiple personalities, signified by her alias Mary Whitney, and she hates that she is not blessed with the same social standing and wealth that Nancy Montgomery has reached. It is not just a crush for Grace, especially since there are signals that Mr. Kinnear has interest in Grace as well. The easiest solution for her to obtain his love would be to kill Nancy. Kinnear's interest in Grace is shown when he takes time out of his day to make small talk with Grace. The best signal of Mr. Kinnear's interest in Grace, however, would be when he asked her to go out on her birthday. Mr. Kinnear's sly flirting, however, only increases Grace's desire to be with him, and this will lead to his eventual death. The feelings are not one sided, as they are reciprocated by Grace based on her going out of her way to do things, for example delivering coffee to Mr. Kinnear, that make Nancy angry. Due to the time period, the idea of a mistress, and being born by anyone other than one's wife is extremely unacceptable, and when Grace finds out Nancy is pregnant, she has another motive for killing her. A…

    Ruben on Piracy

    • 317 Words

    In “ In Defense of Piracy(Well, Some Piracy)”, Matthew Ruben states that it is alright to download mp3 in certain circumstances. He reasons firstly that the current marketing strategies of music are making people paying for albums they would not enjoy. He also reasons that between a dilemma of paying unreasonable price for a single and downloading, there is nothing ethically wrong to download than buying a whole CD just for a track. Thus, he reckons that pirating mp3 single can be a form of protest to the music industry on resisting hype. Though these reasons seem attractive, especially to the general public, Ruben has not taken into account of the devastating effects of piracy has on to the music industry and that piracy is flat, adulterated theft (Gary Locke, 2010).…
