In the novel‚ Cry‚ the Beloved Country‚ written by Alan Paton‚ apartheid plays a big role in the story. Apartheid has been a problem for South Africa since the earlier nineteen hundreds because of the unjust society and heartbreaking rule of "white man’s law over a black man’s country‚" (Cry‚ the Beloved Country.)

Megan Malpass Womack English 1304 January 31‚ 2014 No Country For Old Men Response I completely disagree with Keats and his idea that the movie‚ No Country for Old Men‚ ends happily as Sheriff Bell tells the story of his dream to his wife.

effective‚ if not disturbing‚ humor. I say "disturbing" because O’Connor’s humor‚ along with humor in general‚ most often contains the tragic. Throughout her works‚ specifically "Good Country People‚" O’Connor uses her humor to humble and expose the biases of the overly intellectual and spiritually bankrupt. "Good Country People" starts with the introduction of Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Hopewell. O’Connor’s most blatant humor is found in the revealing of these two characters‚ a simple humor for simple
