    Good Country People Flannery O ’Connor ’s “Good Country People‚” is written in third person while using the omniscient narrator to focus on different character ’s consciousness throughout the story.

What I actually wish for her is failure. “I believe in the power of failure.” (Carroll). In “Failure is a Good Thing‚” by Jon Carroll‚ he talks about how he wishes for his granddaughter to fail

I think all of our wisdom consists of things we know that are not good for ourselves

It’s a matter of opinion. Here are a few examples to justify my argument. A child for instance can be brought up with a family that society sees as near perfect and still turn in
