A good man is hard to find” and “good country people” 
Choose two of the three Flannery O’Connor stories from the Lesson 4 reading assignment and create a thesis comparing the way the stories are narrated (see the excerpts from Pollack’s essay in the Norton textbook, pp. 560-562). Pay close attention to passages in which the narrator relates the voice, vision, thoughts, or perspective of a focal character. To reiterate, the focus of the thesis is to compare the narrative voice in each of the stories, not to compare and/or point out the presence of irony and tone in the stories; rather, present and prove a claim regarding the way or ways in which the narrative voice as a literary device influences the presence of other literary devices, like tone and irony, and so on, in the stories. Thus, when creating the thesis and corresponding topic sentences, think in terms of answering the question: How does the treatment of each character (by the narrator) contribute to tone, irony, or other effects (i.e., literary devices used) in the story?
