Discussion Questions for "The River"

Hi everybody! Sorry these discussion questions are a little late, when I finally got home yesterday, the internet was deciding not to work. If anybody else has any questions, please feel free to post them.

What influences the dynamics in Bevel's family? How does this compare to how some of the other families in O'Connor's stories?

What is happening in the paragraph on page 158 that begins, "The three boys..." How is this related to the idea of original sin? Or is it?

Why does Bevel decide to go to the river?

Why doesn't Bevel have a beatific vision?

Thank you!
