This story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O' Connor, is a very good example of a typical mediocre family, who is about to go on vacation to Florida. The writer explains the situations very well. Like the first seen when the Grandmother is talking to her only son "Bailey" trying to change his mind, not to go to Florida instead go to Tennessee. At this point the writer is trying to convey something to the readers, a foreshadowing of an event that is going to happen later on in the story. Along with this there is a second message for the readers, when she points out the misfits on the loose headed to Florida, she gives this reason not to go to there "I wouldn't take my childre

Here the writer introduces us to the Antagonist of the story, The Misfit, who comes to their rescue/execution. He comes with two other guys; "One was fat boy in black trousers...with a stallion embossed on the front of It." his name was Bobby Lee, "The other had on khaki pants...hiding most of his face." His name was Hiram. The writer describes The Misfit, but does not give his name; this is what he calls himself. He greets everybody and then starts talking with the grandmother, meanwhile he orders one of the guys to check the car, Hiram reports that it will take him half an hour to fix it. Bailey doesn't like the idea of the grandmother talking to The Misfit about the weather and says, "Hush!" and tries to take control of the situation, which does not happen. Instead, The Misfit orders Hiram to take Bailey and John Wesley in the woods, with Bobby Lee. At this point Bailey tries to talk to them but is scared to death, "and his voice cracked" he tells his mother that he'll be back in a minute, but never returns, instead Bobby Lee returns with Bailey shirt, which he tosses to The Misfit. Then he asks the children's mother and June Star to do the same thing, what Bailey and John Wesley did. Now the grandmother is terrified from the situation and can't even speak, the only words that come out of her mouth are "Jesus, Jesus" the writer explains this moment, as if the grandmother wanted to curse The Misfit so bad that due her fear she could only say Jesus, Jesus in a way it sounded that she was cursing at The Misfit.

After the leave the dinner, when they're outside of Toombsboro, the grandmother starts talking about a beautiful house she had visited when she was a young lady. She talks about all the good things that the house has and to make her son "Bailey" go there she even tells a lie, "There was a secret panel in this house...not telling the truth..." By this the children get excited and started screaming at their dad to take them there, "The children began to yell and scream...THEY wanted to do." By this Bailey got angry and shouted at everybody to stop talking, and that he would make this only one stop for such a thing and then the grandmother directs him to the dirt road he has to take to get to this house. While he was driving through the dirt road, and the grandmother was still thinking about the house, she had a terrible thought, that her feet jumped up, which caused the cat "Pitty Sing" to jump on Bailey's shoulder after which he lost control of the car and they had a terrible accident, but everybody
