Typical of O’Connor, her narrative language is very fluid. The writing flows with ease, making it easy to understand. However, the dialogue is cognizant of the setting. Her characters all speak with accents, and she writes out these accents like they would sound, like how a southerner says “Gawd” instead of “God.” This promotes a better sense of setting. It also makes her writing unique.
