The Life you Save may be Your Own
O'Connor, ''The Life You Save May Be Your Own'' -- Jerz: American Lit II (EL 267)
"He offered the old woman a piece but she only raised her upper lip to indicate she had no teeth."
This quote reminded me so much of when I was little and my grandmother would not have her dentures in when we came over. I remember seeing her gums when she talked and being sort of scared about the fact of her missing teeth when I was younger.
I am interested to see what people are going to talk about from this short story in class because I was not quite sure what the point of the story was...It just kind of ended?
I think that Mr. Shiftlet and Lucynell were a good couple matched because they both had their handicaps and both seemed to make eachother happy, but then after he married her he seemed to become sad? Hopefully tomorrows class will bring about some answers or at least some ideas that I am not coming up with!
