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.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

the vowel that joins a root to another root or to a suffix

Explanation:

My/o as in Myology employs a combining vowel, in this case, the 'o', which serves as a merger for two root words or a root word and a suffix. Known to have no distinct meaning, this vowel eases the pronunciation of certain medical terms that are otherwise difficult to pronounce.

Another example is cardiology, which is the study of the heart and diseases associated with it. Cardia is a root word in Greek which means 'heart', and logy is another root wordy in Greek which refers to the 'study of'. It is widely used for this purpose and is seconded by the combining vowel 'a'.
