The story is filled with Christ imagery. In what ways does Mr. Shiftlet live up to the Christian symbols that surround him early

zepelin [54]

Answer:

This story may well be one of O'Connor's most humorous stories. Even though the story as it now stands appears to focus on the attempts of two equally unscrupulous characters to gain an advantage over the other, O'Connor, through the use of color imagery and somewhat obvious symbolism, manages to make the story more than merely a humorous tale. Yet it is the humor, ultimately, which first catches the attention of most readers.

Some of O'Connor's humor is similar, at least in part, to the tradition of such Old Southwest humorists (1835-1860) as Johnson J. Hooper and George W. Harris. Hooper's Simon Suggs and Harris' Sut Lovingood are both similar to O'Connor's Shiftlet. This is especially true in Shiftlet's "swapping session" scenes with Mrs. Crater. These swapping session scenes are also reminiscent of the Armsted-Snopes exchanges in the fiction of William Faulkner. Each of the major characters in O'Connor's story is aware that he, or she, has something that someone else craves, which slowly increases the apparent value of the offer until the final bargain is struck.

I believe the correct answer is D. spatial order.

Even though the items are carefully chosen, they are the only items the character could see from where she was standing at the moment. From the hallway, she could see the china cabinet, a bowl of flowers, the clock, the candles... Then she moves into the room, and her perspective shifts, so that she can now see the bench and the trap door.
