The Intruder is a short story written by Flannery O'Connor, an American writer known for her Southern Gothic style. The story is about a young woman named Mary Grace, who is a student at a Catholic school. One day, while she is studying in the school library, a strange man enters and begins to speak to her in a menacing and threatening manner.
The man, who is later revealed to be a serial killer, tells Mary Grace that he has been watching her and that he knows all about her. He says that he has come to take her away with him and that he will kill her if she resists. Mary Grace, who is terrified, tries to get away from the man, but he grabs her and tries to force her to leave with him.
Just as the man is about to take Mary Grace away, the school librarian, Miss Connie, enters the room. Miss Connie, who is a large, formidable woman, confronts the man and tells him to leave. Despite his threats, Miss Connie stands her ground and eventually manages to get the man to leave.
After the man is gone, Mary Grace collapses in tears, and Miss Connie comforts her. As Mary Grace recovers, she realizes that Miss Connie has saved her life, and she begins to see her in a new light. Mary Grace realizes that Miss Connie is a strong and courageous woman who is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
In the end, The Intruder is a story about the power of courage and determination. It shows that even in the face of great danger, one person can make a difference and stand up for what is right. The story also illustrates the importance of having strong and supportive relationships in times of crisis, as Miss Connie's intervention ultimately saves Mary Grace from harm.

Her head was bent low as she ambled through the crowd, trying to avoid body contact with anyone. Looking at that house brings back a flood of memories and I wonder if the inside walls have marks of our childhood on them. The little family discovered that walls without insulation, even walls of fifteen inch solid masonry are not good insulators. For me, imagining a future where our languages and cultures are working with technology for us in order to, as Miriam Tlali says, 'expose what we feel inside', I had to draw from South African folklore and urban legends. For the ones I didn't like as much, it was usually b This was the second book I read on my recent trip to South Africa.

A house does have history. She was heavily involved in a number of philanthropic enterprises. Here a young man wants to save his best friend from being a Ghost. Because of the war movies he has seen, Kenneth wants to be manly and strong, maybe even a soldier. After all, if he had dragged the rail itself, instead of slipping a log, then, of course, there would be an evil intention.

Dear girl Mohale, your spin on some of the township folklores was phenomenal. Without the problems that modernity can bring. These spaces were neatly encased in an almost featureless red brick cube, which, contrary to its name, was not on the top of the hill. He even tells about a certain Mitrofan, with whom he went to twist, who he is and where he lives. That was all he wanted.
