This book is about a girl named Bridget who needed to have the newest and best coloring markers. She had markers that were washable. She had markers that smelled better than anything you could imagine. Then she got the super-indelible-never-comes-off-till-you're-dead markers. Although she never drew on the walls or floor, she started to draw on herself. In a panic, Bridget used a special marker that was the same color as her skin. Unfortunately, that color came off when she washed her hands and face, showing her rainbow colored self underneath. Her mother rushed her to the doctor, and the doctor gave her a pill and instructions to remove the colors. As I read this book as a kid, I thought Bridget had the coolest markers. As an adult, I now see the scary aspect to giving kids the idea that it's ok to draw on yourself with permanent markers. I think this book is appropriate for children in grades K-1, but I also feel that some people might object to having this book read in school. Although students can learn about the different colors and the importance of listening to their parents or guardians, they're also exposed to the fact that greediness and disobeying rules is ok because there's always a solution.

A Good Man Is Hard to Find is Flannery O'Connor's most famous and most discussed story. O'Connor herself singled it out by making it the title piece of her first collection and the story she most often chose for readings or talks to students. It is an unforgettable tale, both riveting and comic, of the confrontation of a family with violence and sudden death. More than anything else O'Connor ever wrote, this story mixes the comedy, violence, and religious concerns that characterize her fiction.This casebook for the story includes an introduction by the editor, a chronology of the author's life, the authoritative text of the story itself, comments and letters by O'Connor about the story, critical essays, and a bibliography. The critical essays span more than twenty years of commentary and suggest several approaches to the story--formalistic, thematic, deconstructionist-- all within the grasp of the undergraduate, while the introduction also points interested students toward still other resources. Useful for both beginning and advanced students, this casebook provides an in-depth introduction to one of America's most gifted modern writers.

This now classic book revealed Flannery O'Connor as one of the most original and provocative writers to emerge from the South. Her apocalyptic vision of life is expressed through grotesque, often comic situations in which the principal character faces a problem of salvation: the grandmother, in the title story, confronting the murderous Misfit; a neglected four-year-old boy looking for the Kingdom of Christ in the fast-flowing waters of the river; General Sash, about to meet the final enemy. Stories include:"A Good Man Is Hard to Find""The River""The Life You Save May Be Your Own""A Stroke of Good Fortune""A Temple of the Holy Ghost""The Artificial Nigger""A Circle in the Fire""A Late Encounter with the Enemy""Good Country People""The Displaced Person"©1955 Flannery O'Connor; 1954, 1953, 1948 by Flannery O'Connor; renewed 1983, 1981 by Regina O'Connor; renewed 1976 by Mrs. Edward F.
