A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor

I did not like this story at all. I found the family to be rude to the grandmother and each other. The father seems to be disconnected from the family. He is so engrossed in his own life that he ignores the rest of the family most of the time. The children are rude to the grandmother and nothing is said to them. In a way I think the father is responsible for their deaths. It is obvious that the grandmothers mind is not all there, yet the father chooses to follow her directions. It is quiet ironic that the reason the grandmother took the cat was to keep it from hurting itself and burning down the house and the cat is the one who caused the car wreck which in the end lead to their deaths. The misfits are three cold hearted killers. Bobby Lee and Hiram follow the directions of the misfit, their leader. Although the two of them seem to enjoy killing people. The misfit on the other hand, even though he does not think twice about killing someone, appears to have had a good life until one day something went wrong. He killed his father but can not remember killing him. The misfit to me, is torn between right and wrong. I was surprised to see him kill the grandmother straight out. I thought she would be the only one to live. She seem to communicate well with the misfit. I thought she was getting through to him. Over all, the story tuned out like the grandmother predicted in the beginning, even though she was only trying to convince her son to go to Tennessee instead of Florida. She used the story of the misfit in the newspaper to try and prove her point only to have her story come true.
