Read the excerpt from Flannery O'Connor's "The Life You Save May Be Your Own The boy bent over her and stared at the long pink-gold hair and the half-shut sleeping eyes. Then he looked
up and stared at Mr. Shiftlet. "She looks like an angel of Gawd," he murmured.
"Hitch-hiker," Mr. Shiftlet explained. "I can't wait. I got to make Tuscaloosa."
The boy bent over again and very carefully touched his finger to a strand of the golden hair and Mr. Shiftlet
left.
