"Percy's vision for the plot of The Second Coming came to him after an old fraternity brother visited him and told him a story in the 1970s." Expand a little more in this sentence. You should provide more information about the story his brother told him and why this story helped him to come up with the plot of The Second Coming.

"Percy's work, which often features protagonists facing displacement, influenced other Southern authors. Percy's vision helped bring a fundamental change in southern literature where authors began to use characters concerned with "a sense of estrangement"[4]. His works are an example for contemporary southern writers who attempt to combine elements of history, religion, contemporary science, and the modern world.[2] Percy's works which feature characters facing spiritual loneliness in the modern world helped introduce different ways of writing in the south post-war.[1]"

Lots of repetition in this section, especially with the word "works".Gabrielbsousa (talk) 17:32, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
