Old South versus New South in O'Conner's Everything That Rises Must Converge Flannery O'Connor's Beginning and end That Rises Must Converge delineates a smothering mother-child relationship in which the contention is rarely settled, or even recognized. This relationship is an analogy which depicts the progress from the Old South, with its characteristic qualities used to legitimize subjugation and isolation, to the New South, taking a stab at equity dependent on balance. Mrs, Chestney (old South) and her child Julian (New South) speak to, on an individual scale, the connections of their comparing voting demographics, 'The world is a wreck all over the place... I don't have a clue how we've let it get in this chaos, states Mrs, Chestney regarding the matter of isolation, Unintentionally, she involves her sort as the gathering answerable for the strain between Negroes [sic.] and Whites, She is stating, basically, We commanded this race of individuals. Presently it has gotten excessively hard for us to keep up that control. Naturally, she feels undermined. Josep hine Hendin composed that: The integration of transports and the general ascent of the Negro appear to her so much bedlam, a disorder wherein the old and the youthful, the present and the past, must savagely impact.

He weakly watches his mom pass on, and afterward acknowledges how subject to her he genuinely is, As the Old South bites the dust, the New South rises. The relative can't cut off the bind to its ancestor, nor overlook its impact on the people to come. As a general public, our development to a point without prejudice might be a long procedure.
