Finders Keepers!

Hulga is the one-legged disabled thirty year old daughter of Mrs. Hopewell. Overweight and unmarried, she is constantly belittled by her family, but when one night a decent, simple Bible salesman, one Mr. Manley Pointer, arrives to the farm, she see's a way to get back at her mother and prove her worth.

Not bad, I guess, all in all. It just has that undecipherable Flannery O'Connor touch that I never really grasp. I mean WTF was that ending? Although it was very "christian", in a way. I don't think I got the point of this story, but then again I'm a city boi so what the hey do I know.

¡Matanga dijo la Changa!

Hulga es la hija de treinta años discapacitada de una sola pierna de la Sra. Hopewell. Con sobrepeso y soltera, menospreciada constantemente por su familia, pero cuando una noche un sencillo y decente vendedor de Biblias, un tal Sr. Manley Pointer, llega a la granja, ve una forma de devolverle a su madre y demostrar su valía.

No está mal, supongo, dentro de todo. Sólo que tiene ese indescifrable toque de Flannery O'Connor que nunca llego a entender. Quiero decir, ¿QUE DEMONIOS fue ese final? Aunque fue muy "cristiano", en cierto modo. No creo haber entendido el punto de esta historia, pero soy un tipo de ciudad, así que, ¿qué voy a saber yo?
