Flannery O’Connor demonstrates how racism is taught in “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” (a novel). My personal favorite was the granny character. She made racial jokes, was critical of black people, and exudes pride. Since they harbored such a great amount of anger, I think the accident that occurred was their karma. She moved around with an air of intoxication. Because of this attitude, she made poor choices. To boost her self-confidence, she boasts to the kids about a variety of things. She took pleasure in the kids’ emotions. She centered the entire trip around herself and demonstrated how much power she wielded over everyone with whom she came into contact.

I agree with this and really appreciate your analysis of the grandmother. She definitely led to her own downfall with the negative character traits she demonstrated through the story. However, one of the transition moments was when she started to become a little more sympathetic. In my opinion, this illustrates the interior of the story. This highlights that people can change gradually, due to something major happening to them, or they just have a realization. Furthermore, the surface helps readers better understand the interior of literary work.
Tanjla, these are good observations about the grandmother, but have you directly addressed the prompt for this week?
