Hello Nsijsi,

I'll admit this is a pretty confusing excerpt and question, but let's try to work it out. The title of the piece is "An Invisible Thread." Let's think about what that means. A thread can be tied to many things and can connect a series of events and outcomes. With that in mind, read the excerpt and think about how that applies to the story; particualrly, how it applies to the woman with change and the man asking for it. Look for causes and effects in the text. Here are a few:

Action: Man asks for change

Outcome: Woman walks away, ignoring him

Action: Woman changes her mind and turns around while in the middle of the street

Outcome: Woman almost gets hit by a car

etc...

What do these causes and effects show? (Particularly about a thread of consecutive events)?

Answer :

Flannery O’Connor uses imagery in the lines “The body, lady, is like a house: it don’t go anywhere; but the spirit, lady, is like a automobile: always on the move, always . . .” from “The Life You Save May Be Your Own.”

The use of figurative language by Mr. Shiftlet gives the reader the impression that he is an intelligent and learned individual. The use of this appropriate comparison reveals Mr. Shiftlet's experience and wisdom. It also highlights Mr. Shiftlet's restlessness and unwillingness to stay at one place.
