The Country of Pointed Firs transcends the boundaries of a traditional story in attempt to grasp the realism of the country landscape in a more generous form. The book contains little to no drama, but instead focuses on description of dialect, landscape, and gesture. The narrator meditates upon the unchanged time of Dunnet Landing to describe the quality of landscape and permanence in scenes of country life. Her trip serves as a revaluation of continuance—a fixed pattern of social order and existence
Comparing the Adult World with a Child's Perception in Snowdrops Through a child's eyes, the significance of death and all that surrounds it is somewhat different from the reality.

Procession A man by the name of Malcom X once said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today” (Malcolm X).

The Symbolic Meaning Behind the Black Procession in O'Conner's A Late Encounter with the Enemy Czechoslovakian philosopher and political mind Vaclav Havel, in his discourse The Power of the Powerless, talks about the danger of "living within a lie" (84).
