The story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” was such an interesting read. It had a twist. I found myself pretty much on the edge of my seat. I think this story’s interior is how someone is portraying someone they aren’t. They are deceiving others to get what they want. People can be selfish. For example, the grandma didn’t want to travel to Florida but wanted to go to Tennessee. She took every opportunity to convince her son not to travel to Florida. She even mentioned that the Misfit escaped jail and wouldn’t risk her family with him being out there. Ironically, they bumped into him. She also bought her cat without mentioning it to her son. She lied about a secret panel and then realized that the house was in. The grandmother portrayed being a nice person. She said, “…oh look at the cute little Pickaninny!”. She had a double meaning by calling the child cute but used an offensive term in the same sentence. By deceiving her family to get what she wanted, tragically got them killed by the Misfit and he killed her at the end in the dress she wore in case she was found dead. It was very ironic story, but this is chef’s kiss.

Hello Angelica,
Thank you for sharing your post with us. It was very interesting and informative. I agree with you when you mention that a story’s interior is how someone is portraying someone they are not. Grandma is definetely one of the main characters in the story. she freely and frequently passes judgment on others and considers herself morally superior. In that also very interesting how at the end the she suddenly recognizes The Misfit as a fellow human being and child of god. The Misfit kills the grandmother but the grandmother has already had her moment of redemption.
