In the short story "Parker’s Back" the character Parker has many differences and similarities to the grandmother from "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and Mrs. Turpin from "Revelation". The difference is that Parker does not believe in God and faith while the other two characters do. Parker’s wife seems to be more like the characters from the other stories but she is not the one to have a revelation. This story can show that you don’t have to have a current belief in God to have a revelation. Parker like the characters has a revelation of sorts and starts to have faith. Parker’s wife does not have the revelation like the other characters so Flannery O’Conner is showing people of maybe a lower class can receive grace just like anyone else.
