Any author must use language to convey tone, theme, setting, character and other aspects of literature. In Flannery O'Connor's short story Everything That Rises Must Converge, the author uses a number of literary devices to convey enriched meaning in the story through the use of language.

The story of Julian and his over-solicitous and racist mother uses a number of literary devices to help the language of the story add to the meaning. Living at home, selling typewriters, and feeling superior to his mother's education and values, Julian feels like a martyr. We see O'Connor use simile to help the language convey this mean
