"A Good Man is Hard to Find" was not my favourite short story. The grandmother was okay in some parts of the story, like when she was talking with The Misfit at the end, but other than that, I couldn't stand her anymore than any of the other characters. June Star and John Wesley were absolute BRATS (especially when the lady at Sammy Red's told June Star she was cute and how she would love to have a little girl like her) and the mom and dad just didn't seem to care much about anything. The grandmother seemed kind of racist as well when she told the story about her suitor, Mr. Edgar Atkins Teagarden, and how he left her the watermelons. When she said how the little African-American boy ate the watermelon that said E.A.T. I felt she was making fun of him for what he did.
Therefore, I was pretty happy when they died at the end. Of course, no one deserves that, especially by murder, but of all the people that it could have been, I'm glad it was their family, since I hated the characters.
I totally agree with you on everything!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on almost everything. I just thought it was bad that the kids died, because really its their parent's fault for not doing anything about their behavior.
ReplyDeleteThose kids were nasty little brats. I'm almost gleeful they died. :D
