A Good Man Is Hard For Find By Flannery O Connor

In â€Å"A Good Man Is Hard to Find†, Flannery O’Connor presents to the readers an uncanny encounter between a murderer named â€Å"The Misfit† and a grandmother. The two characters when first introduced seem to be antithesis of each other. This â€Å"misfit† is described as a murderer who seems to have no morals or feelings, while the grandmother seems to embody a good Christian woman. Throughout the plot, it is known that the misfit is not much of a believer and the grandmother is. Due to the fact that O’Connor wrote a lot about religion, it is not hard to figure out the connection she tries to make between the characters and religion. In â€Å"A Good Man Is Hard to Find†, Flannery O’Connor uses both the misfit’s and the grandmother’s circumstances and behavior in order to show the readers how the old and new generations feel towards religion. Throughout the plot she uses the Misfit to portray the new generation and use s the grandmother to portray the older generation. O’Connor talks about the generations in such ways that show that the older generations seemed to believe heavily in religion but in the wrong way, and the new generation is misguided with little to no religious affiliations. From the beginning, the grandmother seems to be an old fashioned southern lady who is the epitome of a good Christian woman. She puts up a front that makes her seem like a true Christian, when in reality she is not really strong in her beliefs up until her confrontation with the misfit.

O’Connor was born in Georgia, which is also the setting for her story â€Å"A Good Man is Hard to Find†. It has been widely anthologized in English textbooks because of its riveting storyline and gothic elements. In this story, the grandmother can be considered a protagonist, but is also a manipulator. She makes her family out to be terrible people in order to make herself look better. The family is supposed to be going on a trip to Florida, but for some reason the grandmother does not want to head that way because of a murderer on the loose called The Misfit. She is afraid her family will run into the Misfit and she ends up being correct because her family does end up crossing paths with the Misfit, and he does end up killing every member of the family, including herself. The grandmother does not even beg for the Misfit to spare the lives of her grandchildren or so n and daughter-in-law, she only begs for him to spare her own life. The grandmother begins praying to God, only when her life is on the line, thus making her religious faith an empty one.

In a sense grandmother plays a roll of being iconic to her family and friends this role causes her a destined death when its obvious she can not decide that sometimes a role is not needed and your truthful self is. Grandmother obviously views herself as a lady of high statue in terms of social class. She talks as though she is a know-er of a lot and has a word in all conversations. The way she dresses tells a lot about her. Her collars and cuffs were white organdy trimmed with lace and at her necklace she had pinned a purple spray of cloth violets containing a sachet. In case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady.

Having been observer to the grandma s snapshot of beauty, The Misfit concedes that it’s no longer fun being mean. The grandma applies the word good aimlessly, obscuring the meaning of a good man until the point that the name loses its significance totally. She initially applies it to Red Sammy after he indignantly gripes of the general dishonesty of individuals. He asks her for what reason he let two outsiders charge their fuel—he s clearly been cheated—and the grandma says he did it since he s a good man. For this situation, her meaning of good appears to incorporate guilelessness, misguided thinking, and visually impaired confidence, none of which are inalienably good.

The grandmother, who is old-fashion in her beliefs, tells her grandchildren stories on the road trip; one story leads them down a dirt road to find a house on an old plantation, which produces an unpleasant outcome. The author uses the grandmother’s voice and language to give an old southern appeal to the story, which causes the impression that those who live like her are considered more acceptable. The author uses the grandmother to tell the story in a limited omniscient third person point of view. Because the grandmother tells the story, we are able to see the extreme biasness of an old-fashion style of judgments. While on the road trip the grandson insults his home state. The grandmother quickly enforces her disagreement stating that during her time, â€Å"children were more respectful of their native states and their parents and everything else. People did right then† (965). This explains why the author chooses the grandmother to enforce her beliefs on to the audience. Without the grandmother stating her conservative beliefs, the story would lose that feel of superior thinking the grandmother presents as a quaint woman southerner. The grandmother grew up accepting the standard that in order to be socially accepted, you must have proper etiquette and dress like a lady.

James Barber Presents An Intriguing Method Into Uncovering

James Barber presents an intriguing method into uncovering and analyzing the presidency. As Barber explains, â€Å"To understand what actual presidents do and what potential presidents might do, the first need is to see the man whole—not as some abstract embodiment of civic virtue, some scorecard of issue stands, or some reflection of a faction, but as a human being like the rest of us, a person trying to cope with a difficult environment.† The President’s personality amplifies in world affairs. Ultimately, James Barber’s breakdown of the presidential character is semi-credible/reliable, offering a unique perspective into Barack Obama’s presidential character that can be described as generally active-positive and passive-positive,†¦show more content†¦The contradiction is between low self-esteem (on grounds of being unlovable, unattractive) and a superficial optimism. A hopeful attitude helps dispel doubt and elicits encouragement from others. Passive-positive types help soften the harsh edges of politics. But their dependence and the fragility of their hopes and enjoyments make disappointment in politics likely.† It is difficult to understand how this description can apply to Ronald Reagan wholly for two reasons. First, how is one able to deem another’s optimism as superficial? Reagan never stopped with his optimistic character, even at the darkest moments during his presidency. Reagan faced great opposition from political leaders because of his ambition. Thus, it is somewhat correct that his hopes brought disappointment. Yet, it was not because they weren’t fulfilled, it was that they were perceived as fragile before they occurred. Secondly, Reagan could not afford not to be personally assertive. Reagan was faced a looming Communist threat. Reagan was surely not passive, running the containment route to face this threat at all. He increased American defense spending to 7 percent of the GDP causing the Soviet Union to have to freeze the production of civilian goods, and helped bring about a drastic oil price drop that denied the Soviet Union large inflows of hard currency. Thus, the Reagan example illustrates that applying Barber’s criteria is based on perception.

The IASB has bought forward the preference of gross demonstration of the assets and liabilities on the statement of balance sheet. Under the linked presentation, the assets and liabilities would be obtainable in the gross form however, the amount would be accessible together and the whole to the net release asset or net emission accountability. Cautiously it has been stated by FASB that the assets and liabilities must be recorded on the statement of balance she et by making the use of the related demonstration (Chiu et al., 2015). Nonetheless, the FASB also indicate that there are no such situations where any business organization would be required to intend to offset the asset and liabilities in order to present the items by making use of the linked presentation. In the discussion bought forward by the board it has stated that the measurement of allowance of emission for both assets and liabilities must be made in the system of cap and trade. The members of the board have expressed their support for the model that measures of the allotted allowance and the obligation related to the apportionment must be initially measured at the fair value which also subsequently measures the allocated allowance at the fair value. The board tentatively undertook the decision of measuring the assigned allowance and the accountability relating to the apportionment must be reliable (Schultz Swieringa, 2016). In the discussion made by the board it has stated that commercial entity must regulate the amount of the emission allowance that it would be coming back under the obligation related to the apportionment along with the circumstances when the commercial entity it is necessarily under obligations of recognizing the responsibility related to emission, which is surplus of the liability for the allocation. The board has expressed its support for adopting an approach that determines the amount of the allowances to be reimbursed based on the commercial entity anticipations of emissions or reduction of emission (Ren et al., 2015). Significances of Emission Allowance on Fiscal Statement: In the model ofaccounting for the intangible asset, companies are usually required to measure the emission credits or allowances that is issued to the entities and that are acquired at cost in the market (Jiang et al., 2014). As a result of this, when the company is issued with the emission allowance credits, or allowance it represents only a nominal or zero cost. On the contrary, emission credits or the allowance that is purchased may consume the cost related with them. Although not a generally functional practice, however in theaccounting model of intangible asset, it is probable for an organization to imitate the issued emission allowance or the credits at their fair value when it is received. According to the disclosure that is made commercial entities usually do not amortize the allowance of emission. This is because their fiscal advantage is not lessened until they are consumed (Reboredo, 2014). The emission allowance are subjected to impairment in the indeterminate intangible asset model of impairment or under the model of fixed asset for the finite intangible asset up the degree the organization is amortizing the allowance of emission (Chiu et al., 2013). The emission credits or the allowance are categorized in the form of long term in the balance sheet and the inflow of cash and the outflow of cash that is linked with the emissions credits are categorized under the activities of investment in the cash flows statement. On the other hand, consequences of emission allowance on the financial statement is reflected under the inventory model of accounting, emission credits are usually measured and measured in respect of the average cost (Hoen et al., 2014). Emission credits that is issued by the EPA or any other form of regulatory model generally have zero amount of cost basis. On the other hand, the purchased emission credits are recognized at their purchase price. An important consideration to be regarded in this context is that the weighted average cost of emission allowance that is put into use in every phase is charged to the costs of fuel. The emission allowance is classified in the form of inventory in the balance sheet and the cash inflows along with the cash outflows is associated with the emission credits that is classified in the form of operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The emission allowance are generally subjective to reduced cost of the market methodology to the impairm ent in the inventory model (Xu et al., 2016). Organizations that trade under the emission credits are usually required to follow the model of inventory. As defined under both the models the industry practice that the organization usually does is not required to record an obligation of delivering the emission credits to the regulatory agency until it is noticed that the original degree of emission for a certain period has gone past the credits that is held on the balance sheet (Trck et al., 2014). As a consequence of this the gain is typically identified in the time period during which the emission allowance are sold off. The practice usually varies concerning the identification of the gain as large number of businesses have accepted the bookkeeping policies that necessitates the deferment of gain given that the emission allowance were settled for the forthcoming years however sold during the present year. On the other hand, there are two types of consequences of emission allowance on the income statement (Philip Shi, 2016). The first originates from the use of numerous diverse characteristics for the right asset and the liabilities in the IFRIC 3 model. Using the theory of IAS 38 cost model for the purpose of accounting the allowance asset it leads to disparity amid the measurement of the liability and the same is re-measured to the current market cost along with the variations in the net profits together with the measurement of asset on the cost basis. The next consequence on the income statement originates from the pattern of expenditure that is recognized and the income statement recognition. If an organization makes the use of the revaluation method under the IAS 38 it would be required to display the deviations in the right value of the allowance asset under the statement of income along with the changes in the fair value of the liability in the net proceeds. Particularly, the IFRIC 3 approach identifies the current period of expenditure that is equivalent to the fair value of the emission that is generated throughout the period and identifies the income that is equivalent to the paying back of the government funding related with the apportioned allowances. In relation to this, the net approach lead to identification of expenditure only on the circumstances when the emission goes past the allowance received free of charge from the government. In usual practice, implementation of the net method represents that the liability will be stated in the balance sheet and the expenditure is noted down in the income statement given that the original emission level exceeds the total sum of allowance apportioned to the unit free of cost by the government. Conclusion: On arriving at the conclusion it can be bought forward that the study can be settled by demonstrating that an in depth description of the legal characteristics or the nature of the emission allowance has been conferred. The report evidently brings forward the emission allowance method of measurement at the primary and the succeeding level with appropriate journal entries. The report evidently provides the consequences relating to the emission allowance on the financial statement and provides an in depth conversation of consequences of emission allowance on the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

The Start of Filipino Nationalism ( 1760s-1820s ) The term â€Å"Filipino† originally referred to the indigens of the Philippines themselves.

However. during their 333-year regulation of the Philippines. the Spanish swayers preferred to name the indigens indios. [ 5 ] Besides during the colonial epoch. the Spaniards Born in the Philippines. who were more known as insulares. criollos. or Creoles. were besides called â€Å"Filipinos. † Spanish-born Spaniards or mainland Spaniards shacking in the Philippines were referred to as Peninsulares. Those of assorted lineage were referred to as Mestizos. The Creoles. despite being regarded by the Peninsulares as inferior to them. had enjoyed assorted authorities and church places. and composed the bulk of the authorities bureaucratism. [ 6 ] The sense of national consciousness came from the Creoles. who now regard themselves as â€Å"Filipino† . It was brought to its coming by three major factors: 1 ) economic system. 2 ) instruction and 3 ) secularisation of parishes. Further advancement of Filipino Nationalism ( 1820s-1860 ) At this phase. the Creoles easy introduced their ain reforms. Parishs began to hold native priests at the clip of Archbishop Sancho. The Philippines was given representation in the Spanish Cortes three times ( last clip was from 1836–1837 ) . [ 9 ] However. on June 1. 1823. a Creole rebellion broke out in Manila led by the Mexican-blood Creole captain Andres Novales. [ 10 ] The rebellion. caused by an order from Spain that declared military officers commissioned in the Peninsula ( Spain ) should outrank all those appointed in the Colonies. saw Manila heartening with Novales’s call of â€Å"Viva la Independencia† ( English: Long Live Independence ) .

The Novales Revolt would shortly be followed by another Creole secret plan of sezession known as the Palmero Conspiracy. which was caused by the replacing of Creole public functionaries. particularly provincial governors. with Peninsulars. Economic developments besides did a portion in doing up the form of Filipino Nationalism. Before the gap of Manila to foreign trade. the Spanish governments discouraged foreign merchandisers from shacking in the settlement and prosecuting in concern. [ 11 ] In 1823. Governor-General Mariano Ricafort promulgated an edict prohibiting foreign merchandisers from prosecuting in retail trade and sing the states for intents of trade. However. by the royal edict of September 6. 1834. the privileges of the Company were abolished and the port of Manila was opened to merchandise. [ 12 ] Shortly after opening Manila to universe trade. the Spanish merchandisers began to lose their commercial domination in the Philippines. In 1834. limitations against foreign bargainers were relaxed when Manila became an unfastened port. By the terminal of 1859. there were 15 foreign houses in Manila: seven of which were British. three American. two Gallic. two Swiss and one German. [ 12 ] In response to Sinibaldo de Mas’ recommendations. more ports were opened by Spain to universe trade. The ports of Sual. Pangasinan. Iloilo and Zamboanga were opened in 1855. Cebu was opened in 1860. Legazpi and Tacloban in 1873. [ 13 ] Like Japan that rushed into modernisation and national transmutation during the Meiji Restoration. the Philippines and its people saw that the Spanish and its authorities is non every bit unbeatable as it was two centuries before. The Indios and the Creoles became more influenced by foreign thoughts of liberalism as the Philippines became more unfastened to aliens. Foreigners who visited the Philippines had noticed the velocity of the circulation of the thoughts of Voltaire and Thomas Paine. Songs about autonomy and equality were besides being sung at the clip. Some Spanish who foresaw a â€Å"fast verging† Indio coup detat of the archipelago began to direct money out of the Philippines Factor THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FILIPINO NATIONALISM 1. the revolutions in Europe and in Latin America( opened the Philippines tointernational trade. ) 2. the rise of a Middle Class from which came the ilustrado elites thatsoonbecame the chief fomenters against the Spanish Regime. 3. the bureaucratic centralised authorities established in Manila had caused widespread discontent in the full archipelago. 4. The executing of the Gomburza became a flicker among the educatedilustrados. 5.

DelPilar. he undertook propagandacampaigns in Spain. But he was soonsucceeded by Marcelo H. delPilar. Rizal and The Development of Filipino Nationalism The most outstanding Propagandist was JoseRizal. a doctor. bookman. scientist. and author. Rizal’s calling spanned two universes: 1. Among little communities of Filipino pupils in Madrid andother European metropoliss. hebecame a leader and facile spokesman 2. In the wider universe of European scienceand scholarship–particularly inGermany–he formed near relationshipswith outstanding natural and socialscientists His greatest impact on the development of a Filipino national consciousness. nevertheless. was his publication of two novels– Noli Me Tangere( Touch me non ) in 1886andEl Filibusterismo( The reign of greed ) in 1891. Rizal drew on his personalexperiences and depicted the conditions of Spanish regulation in the islands. particularlythe maltreatments of the mendicants. Although the mendicants had Rizal’s books banned. they weresmuggled into the Philippines and quickly gained a broad readership. What are the kernel of patriotism in the novels of Rizal? As Gospels of Philippine patriotism. Rizal’s novels convey the kernel of his patriotism that was to resound in the Black Marias of the people. He identified this kernel in his letters as his aspiration to relieve the agonies of the multitudes. to do work forces worthy. to revenge one twenty-four hours the many victims of inhuman treatment and unfairness. to raise a memorial to the native lingua and to educate his people. In the two novels. the kernel of Rizal’s patriotism is best understood through the acute survey of the characters. Through their duologue and actions. in their thoughts and ideals. or in the deficiency of these are seen Rizal’s scope of vision. his construct of love of state. his entreaty for reforms. his attitude towards the mendicants. and his positions on the failings of the Filipinos.
