I chose a Flannery O'Connor's short story Everything That Rises Must Converge (1956) for my story map project. It appealed to me because it is set in the South during segregation. The story, told through Julian, a recent graduate and typewriter salesman, begins when he picks his mother up to escort her to the Y for a weight reduction class on the city bus. The mother-son relationship is tested along the way as other passengers board and exit. Rich characters and the sequence of events provide strong content. I'm unsure of the format & execution at this time. Related topics include Rosa Parks, 1950s fashion (hats) and Southern aristocracy.
