O'Connor, "Good Country People" -- Jerz: EL150 (Intro to Literary Study) "'And you needn't to think you'll catch me because Pointer ain't really my name. I use a different name at every house I call at and don't stay nowhere long.'"
For once in all these stories I was shocked
at how O'Connor ended, twisting ex-
pectations. Hulga had control, and mocked.
The boy then tricked her, promising some sex.
I haven't seen this side of Flan'ry O.
The other stories' endings seemed to be
establish'd facts that kept us in the know.
The twist on this one was so sad to me.

thought herself more superior then him.
