Flannery O’Connor utilizes imagery to provide foreshadowing of the tragic and yet‚ seemingly inevitable ending of "A Good Man Is Hard to Find." O’Connor provides the readers with a sense of the ending by mentioning the behavior and activities of the characters and also by describing the family’s last visit on earth‚ which serve to build up the curiosity surrounding such an obscure description of a destination.

If one manager fine tunes down to a 5 and another fine tunes up to a 6‚ then these are two separate scores for the same evaluation.
