Symbolism in the Book of Revelation I really enjoyed how the article started off with talking about how we as humans need something radical to get our attention.

Revelations and Parker ’s Back The story "Revelations" by Flannery O ’Connor portrays the character of Ms. Turpin as a very hypocritical Christian. It ’s absurd how obvious she is in her view of society; it could not be less unchristian like. Her opinions towards other people and their intelligence are Ms. Turpin ’s greatest flaw.
