Walter A Macancela Week 8 Discussion

In “A Good Man Is Hard to Find”, Grandma is a lady with classical taste. She is older, but energetic and logical, a wonderful companion for Mr. Bailey’s children. She appreciates life and life by presenting herself as a lady in a beautiful dress. She has an instinct for pride and superiority, as she always retains her precious grace. When traveling as a family, the grandmothers talked and entertained their grandchildren with games and jokes. Her grandchildren were rude to her. There were many situations where there were negative behaviors and comments. This grandmother is also a dramatic storyteller; she tells the children that when she tells them the story they would shut up. She tells of her own story, her story of her love with Mr. Edgar Atkins Teagarden of Georgia, who brought her watermelon on Saturday when a Negro ate it. Grandma laughs because she thinks he’s funny but the kids don’t like him. It is noted that she had an incredibly high ego and boasted of being superior to others, she is a very negative person, however, neither her pride nor her superiority instinct could not save her from the sad end she had.
