Abstract

"everything that rises must converge," By Flannery O'Connor, and "girl," by Jamaica Kincaid are completely different texts that share a common theme. The story by O'Connor is about the feelings and emotions of a boy named Julian. He is strongly opposed to his mother's view of the world in which slavery and the oppression of African Americans is acceptable. He wants to prove to his mother and to himself that race should not be the deciding factor in judging an individual, and he develops such passion for this idea that he even takes it too far. The text by Kincaid is basically a list of commands and directions given to a young girl by her mother. These directions are extremely harsh and inconsiderate, and it seems as though the young girl is being exploited. In both stories, there is an oppressor and exploiter who does not value personal freedom and believes that some people should have more rights than others.
