The story \u201cA Good Man is Hard to Find\u201d by Flannery O’Conner not surprising to me. I felt I had an idea of what to expect. It gave me the feeling of society precisely what\u2019s going on in the 21st<\/sup> century. There is a saying that says, \u201chistory repeats itself.\u201d \u00a0O\u2019Connor\u2019s story reminds me of a family with a grandmother that always seems correct. Because we respect our elderly, we tend to do as they say because they always say they have more knowledge than anyone younger. It shows that the grandmother\u2019s request to visit the old house killed the family. The grandmother was manipulating her family by using her evil tricks to fool them, and because her only child wanted to please her and get the kids to be quiet, he fell for it. Sometimes we put ourselves in a particular predicament, saying, \u201cif I did know.\u201d But as for the grandmother, when she remembers the house they were about to visit was in Tennessee, she kept it to herself; that drives me so much anger. In society, we have families that portray the same attitude as the grandmother, which usually causes arguments and disagreement, which could lead to death.<\/p>\n

After the vehicle crashed, a car came from nowhere, which seemed like it was just waiting for something like that to happen. It was like a movie scene; I was predicting what would happen. As I guess it was the Misfit, there goes O\u2019Connor describing the men, nothing good they were up to, and unfortunately, they were being honest, but at the same time, it was a bit of fun for them. The grandmother uses Christianity words, which she might think would save her, but doesn\u2019t show any goodness towards the story; there is violence. I think it\u2019s like playing with fire, and we know that once we do so, we will get burned. Therefore, when you do evil, evil follows you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
