A Good Man is Hard to Find

Since this week we had conferences, there are fewer stories to choose from. I did like “A Good Man is Hard to Find” though. The title makes the story seem as if it is going in a different direction than what the story does take. A family is on a trip and end up getting killed, to make the story short. The grandmother is trying to get a closer connection with her family, but she is failing. They did not care about the mountains or her past stories about the way things used to be. So once she does find something that excites her grandchildren, she wants to make it happen. Sadly, the connection that she is making does not occur in the state she thinks. So she gets her family into trouble when she made a mistake but refused to tell her family about the mistake because she does not want to lose the connection that she gained. Once she realizes that her family is in trouble she tries to save them by telling the Misfit to find the good in him and let him know that she knows he is not a bad guy; he should find the good and go with that because Jesus loves him and can save him. Now as much as I could continue into this analysis, I think I might write a paper on it so I should stop here so that I can expand there.
