For my paper topic, I am focusing on how O'Connor incorporates geography and setting into her narrative structures. In "The Artificial Nigger," the setting of the city is very important to the story. For discussion tomorrow, I would like us to consider the following
--how does the setting of the story contribute to or support O'Connor's moral/spiritual themes?
--does O'Connor want us to agree with Mr. Head on his sentiments towards the big city?
--is the situation merely black and white (no pun intended)? Meaning, can the situation be simply stated as the city has a negative association while the country a positive one, or would the message lie somewhere more in between?
