Analysis of “A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND”
In the narration A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND, Flannery O'Connor takes readers through a description of various places. Although the family members in the script have different views and desires in the different places they would like to visit, they end up in one direction and destination. According to O'Connor (6), the family has planned for a vacation to Florida. However, the grandmother did not want to visit the place, and she has two distinct reasons behind her argument. First, she says that the Misfit had killed people in the State (O'Connor, 6). According to the old folk, the place may not be safe for the family, and they may need to change their destination. Second, the grandmother argues that the children had visited Florida but not gone to Tennessee, and she thinks the latter would create an opportunity for adventure (O'Connor, 6). The children did not agree with the grandmother, although the argument worked in their favor. How could they not want to visit a new place and prefer going to Florida over again? Bailey, the father of the kids, stands strict to the decision of going to Florida and the grandmother is left with no choice than to go on the trip regardless of the turn down on the place she would like to visit.
O'Connor (7) states that the onset of the journey started from their home at Atlanta, the capital of the American State of Georgia. Although the grandmother did not want to want to go to Florida in the Southern part of the United States, she is the first one to get in the car. Ironically, she seems prepared for the tri despite the previous argument on where they should go. Besides, she did not have a choice except to follow what the rest of the family had decided. No one in the family considered her ideas and opinions on what they should do, when or where. However, the grandmother makes a more reasonable argument during the trip regarding their destination. O'Connor (9) reveals the idea of the grandmother that Georgia has hills while Tennessee has mountains. Would the vacation become more fun if they viewed mountains to create a difference in the normality of the hills they have seen in their own State? Although the claim may have counted, the children counteract the idea by saying they do not even like Georgia, not to mention the viability of the physical features in the State.
The grandmother gives an account of her past in a courtship relation with Mr. Edgar Teagarden. According to O'Connor (11), Teagarden came from Jasper, a city in Alabama in the United States. The grandmother narrates the story of their relationship to her grandchildren to show them the significance of their origin despite how humble it may seem or appear to them and the people around their lives. Unfortunately, the grandmother regrets never marrying Teagarden because he ended up successful and wealthy in his life encounter. Does the statement reveal dissatisfaction with the grandmother in her current family? Although the script does not disclose the information, her relation and interaction with the fa...
