In “A Good Man is Hard to Find” I feel like the narrator wanted to convey a moral lesson to the reader. Flannery O’Connor uses different plot and scenery to reveal the ugly side of human behavior and how our actions can affect others. The story was unpredictable. While I was reading it I felt very anxious and wanted to see what would happened during the family trip to Florida. The ending was very surprising but in the back of my head I knew something was going to happen the minute the misfit showed

Their appearance is in no way proportionate to the great value they have. This is true of human beings also. A person may be good looking having an attractive character. But he may not possess any real ability or talent. He can even turn out to be unscrupulous too. A man must be judged on the basis of his abilities and not on his external appearance. Many of the truly good and great men are humble. Goodness and perfection do not go with gaudiness. Like shining glass pieces which dazzle and glitter

Oedipus the King: Fighting Fate “A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.” (Jean de la Fontaine)‚ a sobering reminder of the extent to which Oedipus and his parents‚ Jocasta and Laius from the play Oedipus the King by Sophocles fight a predetermined course plotted for them by the gods and written by the oracles‚ only for it to transpire tragically.

In “A Good Man is Hard to Find”‚ the family tries to present themselves as a perfect family to others. All of the characters throughout the story are very ungrateful and rude until they need something in return. I felt that the transformation near the end of the story is in fact the grandmother’s faith. After encountering the Misfit‚ he says‚ “‘God never made finer woman than my mother and my daddy’s heart was pure gold’” (O’Connor 432). After the grandmother realizes that he is religious‚ she prays
