    While looking up facts about Margaret Atwood about her books and poems, she said something about her two books The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake before being the first person ever to receive the first Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1987. Atwood said, “Science fiction has monsters and spaceships; speculative fiction could really happen.” In fact, I consider her statement true. Of course Atwood is a feminist but her works help spread the feminist movement. If one breaks down her statement, “Nothing new about the society depicted in The Handmaid's Tale except the time and place.” she is right, women still do not have equal opportunity or rights still to this day. Women get paid less than their male counterparts, and treated different. Nothing…

    People always strive for perfection, yet constantly fall short. Flannery O’Connor presents life as that of unredeemable pain, and that humans are simply organisms who are violent contradictions. Flannery O’Connor’s stories often feature characters that are similar in many aspects, facing different situations. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and “Everything That Rises Must Converge” depict much of what O’Connor is famous for in the literary world. Through the use of theme, style, and symbolism, Flannery makes it clear the powerlessness and impotence of humans and the insignificance of their desires, dreams and pretentions.…
