‘Wow, that person can really act!’ or ‘Whoa, that person can not act’? Many people have their own opinions of what good acting is and what bad acting is. In my case, good acting is has to be natural.

What does it take to have salvation and eternal life and how does one show that in a work of literature? In the process of all of the chronological references and religious symbolism, Flannery O’Connor in “A Good Man is Hard to Find” addresses this and draws a parallel to the modern moral dilemma of what it takes to be saved. Written in 1953 and based upon her Roman

was entered into by both parties under false assumptions. A mutual mistake of material fact was made. From the information provided it does not seem it was done intentionally by the sales person so the contract can be rescinded. If the buyer, Josh Hartly, agrees to purchase a car with the new engine that is being manufactured then both parties can continue with the sales contract. One thing to be aware of would be the price difference, if any, between the 3.2 L V-6 engine car and the 3.5 L V-6 engine
