The Artificial Nigger

O'Connor, ''The Artificial Nigger'' -- Jerz: American Lit II (EL 267)

"Mr. Head awakened to discover that the room wasfilled with moonlight.He sat up and stared at the floor boards- the color of silver- and then at the tickig on his pillow, which might have been brocade, and after a second, he saw half of the moon five feet away n his shaving mirror, paused as if it were waiting for his permission to enter."

I have not yet read this whole reading, but I loved how O'Conner started this story with so much detail. It paints the perfect picture for me in my mind and I see what this scene with Mr. Head awakening from his sleep looks like through his eyes. I am looking forward to seeing if O'Connor continues describing the scenes and characers in this story as detailed as the beginning!
