Comment Paper On Everything Th
<view this essay>.... ‘I see we have the bus to ourselves.” This allows the reader to assume that Julian’s mother is prejudice, and was most likely raised in that time era. A good example O’Conner uses to explain Julian is found on page 208. It states, “Most miraculous of all, instead of being blinded by love for her as she was for him, he had cut himself emotionally free of her and could see her with complete objectivity. He was not dominated by his mother.” It is safe to assume Julian is a depressed son, who is perturbed with his mother and her old ways of life.
