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.

My True South: Why I Decided to Return Home,” Jesmyn Ward uses narrative nonfiction and employs figurative language to strengthe
andre [41]

Answer:

In her essay, Jesmyn Ward describes racism in Mississippi telling real situations that she, her family and friends lived there. She is very critical of the systemic racism in the south of the country: "Sometimes the aggression is deeper, systemic. It is black children in my family enrolling in free preschool programs where their teachers barely tolerate them, ignore them, do a terrible job of leading them to learning."However, she also relates how the people she knows and love try to fight back the racism by staying alert when they see a situation where someone is in danger or is being discriminated:"I remember that Mississippi is not only its ugliness, its treachery, its willful ignorance (...). Here is one of my best friends from high school, a white woman with two toddlers, who stops her car when she sees black people pulled over by the police, pulling out her phone and filming in an attempt to belay disaster, to hold authority accountable."

Jesmyn Ward also uses figurative language throughout the essay to strengthen her claim, to give more meaning to the situations she is describing and to properly describe what she goes through when she is there, to emphasize and transmit the way she feels: "We stand at the edge of a gulf, looking out on a surging, endless expanse of time and violence, constant and immense, and like water, it wishes to swallow us. We resist.
