For example, the grandmother was a traditional, racist Southern woman and the kids demonstrated the innocence of the newer generation, there was also very clear hypocrisy. Also, I just found it amusing that the grandmother caused the family&#8217;s death and she was the main one trying to lead them, and I know that even though the son wanted to keep driving, he respected his mom, as she is his elder and listened to her which caused their demise. I also enjoyed &#8220;Little Snow White&#8221; because that&#8217;s a fairy tale I grew up on as a child and now I can read it as a sinister fairy tale versus how I used to read it as just a simple princess love story. The reading that I liked the least was <em>Oedipus\u00a0the King\u00a0<\/em>by Sophocles because Greek plays has always been my weakness due to the vernacular. I had to re-read certain parts over in order to understand the characters roles and what they were talking about because it also jumped a lot to different characters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The reading that I liked the most this semester was &#8220;A Good Man is Hard to Find&#8221; by Flannery O&#8217;Conner because it represented old school and new school mindsets and how neither one is better than the other.
