Jenefeir Singh Week 9 Discussion

What specific ideas did you come across in “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” that you would have missed if you had not read the article by the author in Activity 1?

If I had not read the article from “On Her Qwn Work”: The Element of Suspense in “A Good Man is Hard to Find” (Flannery O’Connor), two specific ideas I would have miss are dishonesty and selfishness. The article makes me realizes that the grandmother is selfish and dishonest. The grandmother deceives her son by making her grandchildren believes there was a secret compartment with hidden treasures because her son did not want to stop at the plantation. Due to her dishonesty, her family was killed by the Misfits. She is trying to save herself from dying by telling the Misfits that he is a good man, since she realizes that he kills her family. The Misfit knows that he is a not good man. He eventually kills the grandmother.
