Answer:
One theme in Flannery O'Connor's "Everything that Rises Must Converge" is:
A. looks can be deceiving.
Explanation:
In the short story "Everything that Rises Must Converge," several themes can be found. <u>Among them, one of the main themes is that looks can be deceiving. The following passage from the story is evidence of that:</u>
<u>"She was one of the few members of the Y reducing class who arrived in hat and gloves and who had a son who had been to college."</u>
The main characters are J.ulian and his mother, and none of them is what they seem to be. <u>J.ulian, for instance, has convinced himself that he is modern, open-minded, and thoughtful; he has also told himself that his mother is his complete opposite - a narrow-minded, prejudiced person. He is angry at her for the importance she places on appearances.</u>
<u>However, as the story unfolds, we realize J.ulian is also prejudiced and narrow-minded when it comes to his mother. And he too cares about what others think of him</u>. His mother, on the other hand, has her flaws and limitations, but is revealed to have a good heart. <u>Their looks and their behaviors are deceiving, not showing their true selves. </u>

Note: Some words starting with j and u are forbidden by Brainly. That is why I had to type J.ulian like this.
