My thoughs on " A Good Man is Hard to Find"
This story has some irony to it, the grandmother did not want to go to Florida because there was a Misfit killer on the loose, meanwhile she was killed by the Misfit killer while taking the family on a detour to somewhere she wanted to go. The grandmother character of this story. Throughout the story the grandmother seems to be a selfish women who is interested in only money and material things. She is also a god-fearing women, she says that she would give all of her money to Jesus in exchange for salvation. Just before she is killed we see a change in her attitude. Rather then pleading for her own life she is grieving the loss of her son Bailey.

i agree with the fact that she was selfish.only thinkig about what she wanted.
ReplyDeleteIt's usually true I feel like when someone experiences a near death or a life threathing situation they usually change, but sometimes it's just too late.
ReplyDeleteWell, at the very end, something else is happening--see my post; you'e right about the ironies...
ReplyDeletethe "too late" idea may be interesting, if we think of that as one's having lived a certain way or believed a certian way, for so long, that it's hard to see differently... A parallel to YGB maybe interesting.
