Flannery O'Connor is known for her themes that integrates the transition of traditional values and contemporary values. The rise of cities allows her to portray her works effectively and make a comparison on them. In one of her works, "Everything that rises Emerge", it tells of a college graduate son that knows better of the world and his mother who is uncomfortable on anything new in the city.

I looked at the clock. It was almost 7:30 P.M. Where was everyone? I had been waiting for half an hour, and neither Lydia nor Michelle had arrived. I looked around the restaurant, watching the other people eating happily with their family and friends. Maybe I got the time wrong? I was positive, though, that 7 P.M. was the time we were supposed to meet. I checked my phone again--no calls. Sometimes my friends were a few minutes late, but never this late! I looked at the text again, and I started to worry. Suddenly, my phone rang. "Hello? Where are you?" It turned out that I was sitting in the wrong restaurant for thirty minutes.
Hope it helps!
