Consider how O’Connor uses Southern Gothic elements of brokenness and the grotesque, among other Southern Gothic themes, in this story. What are “good country people”?
1-Write a 250-500 word response to the assigned story. Grades on these responses will assess the depth of analysis and engagement with the text.
How closely did you examine the assigned reading? What conclusions did you draw, and why? Did you provide evidence (quotes, paraphrases) from the text to support your assertions? If your reactions to what you read are purely emotional (the reading made you mad, sad, bored, etc.) then you havenât thought enough about what you read. WHY did you have that reaction? Also under consideration: is your response organized, with full paragraphs, carefully proofread, and submitted on time?
2- In addition to the post, please post THREE paragraph-length peer responses that respond to specific points made in your peersâ posts. You may agree or disagree, but be sure to respond with an aim towards deepening class discussions, not being ârightâ or correcting anyone.

Sample Solution
ished to participate in the survey. Data were collected at these different strategic places randomly but with particular exception to those who appear to be below 18 years of age. However, tourists were selected at different times of the day. A total sample size of 464 was completed. 5.5.2. Variables This study analyzed which destination attributes were important in satisfying tourists who visited North Cyprus, and identified the relationship of satisfaction to touristsâ characteristics. In developing an instrument for this study, previous literature from studies with similar objectives was examined as to identify suitable instruments for this study. The questionnaire used in this study consisted of four parts. The first part explored the travel behavior characteristics of the tourists. Part 2 explored some different destination attributes affecting touristsâ expectations, perceptions, and levels of satisfaction in relation to North Cyprus tourism sector. Respondents were asked for to give a score to each of the 16 attributes on the levels of perceptions and expectations independently using a 5-point likert â type scale ranging from completely unimportant expectation (1) to completely important expectation (5) and from completely disagree (1) perception to completely agree (5) perception. The third part consist of two parts; firstly, the (dis)satisfaction and loyalty part where respondents were asked to score their intentions after they leave North Cyprus on a 5-point scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5) while the second part they were to rate and make suggestion for improvement on some of the chosen attributes ranging from poor (1) to excellent (5). Finally the last part of the questionnaires explored the demographic characteristics of the tourists. The dependent variable of this study is the touristsâ satisfaction, the independent variable include all the listed 16 destination attributes while the control variable are the touristsâ demographic characteristics and their travel behavioral characteristics. All these can be seen in the questionnaire in appendix 1. 5.6. Survey Instrument (questionnaires)Pretest The survey instrument was revised as to strengthen its validity; the questionnaire which was taken from a previous work with a similar contest was given to the Head of Department of Industrial engineering (my supervisor) for assessment and possible corrections. Based on the feedback received, the questionnaire was modified. Then, the questionnaire was tested through few samples of tourists in one of the destinations. The main aim of the pretest was to validate the questions of the study.>
