Essays on Manley

“Good Country People”, the 1955 short story written by Flannery O’Connor, delves on the lives of Mrs. Hopewell and her daughter, Joy or Hulga, their maidservant Mrs. Freeman, and the Bible salesman, Manley Pointer. What is especially observable in this story is the use of irony and conflict to convey O’Connor’s thematic appeals, which center on deception, rebellion and sexual manipulation.

Patient Check out Flow Chart

The first step in the flowchart is that the patient completes clinic visit and appears at the checkout desk. This is the time when the patient is ready to be discharged and has already completed the necessary requirements for the release (“Patient Check Out,” n.d). The people involved in this step are the patient, the main concern of the process; the personal doctor, to verify if the patient truly satisfies the requirements; and the personnel in-charge of the checkout desk, to hold the patient before release is granted.

The era of European civilization was marked by the French Revolution. The epoch was entangled in dialectic movements that tore it between romanticism and rationalism. The period marked the pick of literary works with several artists fronting different ideologies and eventual rejection of classicism. The fronting of romanticism came as a revolt against the intellectual order that had been glorified by rationalism. The critical period gave birth to great artists like Gerard Hopkins who followed in the footsteps of his father became an iconic figure in literary and poetic works that defined the era of romanticism (Caldecott 121-42).
