Julia Longboat Week 8 Discussion

In the story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” the depth or interior of the story is centralized around the grandmother and her ways of life. She preaches the whole time of how people were better back in the day but fails realize she is apart of the problem. She sees people in a different light than of herself and until the end she tries to portray this holy woman of god persona. She believes that appearances should be the entire basis of what or how someone should be perceived inside. She tells the misfit that he looks like a good man and thus should deep down be one. She is also certain that he would never kill a lady and tries to use this as protection for herself and never once tries to do the same for the others. Outside of the struggles the family is going through the main one purpose of the story is to shine light on the ugliness inside of the grandmother.
