Mary Flannery O’Connor was an American writer, she wrote two important novels, “Wise Blood” and “The Violent Bear it Away”, and many short stories.

The “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” tells the story of an old woman and her daughter who is deaf and mute and live by themselves in a farm. The old lady wants to marry her daughter and a man who arrived at the farm to help fix problems at the farm seems like the perfect candidate for the daughter. After some time the man, Mr. Shiftlet, accepts to marry Lucynell, but on one occasion he left her sleeping in a road restaurant and leaves forever.

The general idea of the novel is that of a stranger who arrives to the lives of two women and provokes a change in their lives, just as in “Good Country People”.

The stories with the Southern Gothic literature style often focused on grotesque themes. While it may include supernatural elements, it mainly focuses on damaged, even delusional, characters.

So, the answer for this question is:

A. half an arm

I think the answer is A) half an arm, because I can infer that Mr. Shiftley most likely got injured or shot during war in the South to take off half of his arm.

nalin [4]
The main idea of the paragraph is that women should be credited for much more during the prehistoric times that they are at the moment. We only get the picture of them being rather irrelevant at the time which is obviously not true, based on this excerpt. The paragraph is quite feminist, meaning that it is shedding light on actual history and the role of women in such a society which not much is spoken about in contemporary analyses. 
They were the ones who invented gardening, as well as pottery and weaving. The reason why they did this was because they often stayed 'at home' taking care of children, so they had time to do other things as well, while men were out hunting and providing for the family in other ways. Thus we have solid proof that women were far more creative and responsible for various things than they are credited for now.
