So framing can be thought of as other than now - past - now. I visited Andalusia on Saturday and walked the grounds and surrounding woods. Her story Displaced Person is not framing, physical framing or in time framing, but like Mrs. Freeman's gaze, Mrs. Shortley's stance in opening paragraphs is structural. I find physicality in O’Connor stories draws me in to a reality.

Yes, this is interesting, Anne. When I stop and consider why and how a framing device works, what it accomplishes for the story, O'Connor seems to be doing something differently from Hsun. She is drawing our gaze here to what Mrs. F. is looking at. As a matter of fact, throughout this story, she does in fact seem obsessed with what and where characters' gazes are directed....
