Temple of the Holy Spirit

So, I read the story by Flannery O’Conner and I am a little, well of lot, confused and don’t really see the symbolism, but I will try to answer this I most.  I think may have to do way more thinking and searching for a deeper symbolism than I have time for, and isn’t that what we are not to do anyways when looking for symbolism?

Reading (what do you see): The basic plot (because I would be re-writing the story if I pointed out every detail) was that there is a little girl who is somewhat rude, two girls come to visit who go to school in a convent they are very looks-oriented and call themselves Temple 1 and Temple 2, these girls go out with two farmer boys to a fair who the little girl doesn’t like because they are from the Church of God, the girls tell the little girl(unnamed) about a man-woman person, she them falls asleep thinking of the temple of the Holy Spirit, she prays in the convent and seems to feel the spirit for the first time.

Interpreting (what does this say?): I think that maybe all of the other people are really the little girl’s mind trying to find who she really it.  I think that the woman-man revealed something to her by saying “God made me thisaway” and guided her to seeing that SHE is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Criticizing (what does it matter): I think that this story is telling us that we are all the temple of the Holy Spirit.  We all have different personalities and different walks with God, but each of us hold something similar- the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. 

Or

This story could be pointing out the fact that we don’t know who we are, or who we want to be (if the little girl was actually all of these characters), but the Holy Spirit will guide us into that insight as we make ourselves his home.
