Wise Blood by Flannery O'Connor

    write a paper (five to seven) on a literary topic related to your novel in some way. Does the novel contain a great deal of symbolism? Perhaps you could write a paper that deals with the author's use of symbolism in the novel. How does realism play into the meaning of the novel? How does a change in setting affect the development of the plot? Does the writer use irony, foreshadowing, or other literary devices? Does the writer's characterization contribute to the theme of the novel?
