"Revelation"
Flannery O'Connor
This was another interesting piece of literature that I have read this week. It starts off with the character known as Mrs. Turpin and her husband Claud. I really disliked her as I began reading this short story. It took place inside a waiting room at a doctor's office. Mrs. Turpin resembled a judgmental person. Everyone she seen in the office, she had something to say about them. She is not judgmental about her husband Claud. She seems to really love him by taking care of him and telling him "not to stand on his leg" because he is not able to.
As the other characters had started to judge her, she did not take to kind of that. But I had the feeling that she got what she deserved. You should never judge anyone, you should pray for them. She did not pick a good topic for a discussion inside a doctor's office because of the different religions, cultures, and races you see in the offices sometimes.
At first I had believed that this short story would be about the bible. Like the book of Revelations. However, as I continued to read, it was nothing like that. I kept thinking that Mrs. Turpin was the devil and was acting well past her age to sit there and judge those in the office as well. What if the colored boy who brought the food on the tray would have been in there the whole time to hear the conversation? Well, Mrs. Turpin could have been in an arugnemtn. I know that African-Americans have different skin colors, but you should NEVER judge anyone no matter who they are or from where they come from.
I was very shocked in this story. I thought that it would have been about Mr. Claud getting really sick or something, but boy was I wrong. I have enjoyed all the readings for this week. They were actually pretty good and I could read them over and over again. I love stories like these since I can get in them with my personal opinions. I hope the rest of the class enjoyed this weeks assignments as much as I did. I just hope that next weeks are even more suspenseful and interesting.
