Which excerpt from O’Connor’s “Good Country People” best reveals the irony of Joy’s name? Mrs. Hopewell thought of her as a chil

d though she was thirty-two years old and highly educated. Joy would get up while her mother was eating, and before long, Mrs. Freeman would arrive at the back door. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too. She would make these statements, usually at the table, in a tone of gentle insistence as if no one held them but her. [A]nd when Joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum that Mrs. Hopewell would say, “If you can’t come pleasantly, I don’t want you at all,” to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward would reply. . . . She saw it as the name of her highest creative act. One of her major triumphs was that her mother had not been able to turn her dust into Joy, but the greater one was that she had been able to turn it herself into Hulga.

Please guys help me with this assignment
AVprozaik [17]
I can’t write a whole essay, but here’s a few factors. People help eachother because it makes them feel good, some people believe that they are better people than others for helping people, others help because of their religion, like churches going on missions to other countries, some do it because they have been in a similar situation and don’t want to see the other person suffer.
