A Good Man, Is Hard to Find

A Good Man, Is Hard to Find

by: Flannery O'Connor

This story was very interesting. Alot of things puzzled me at the beginning, like the relationships between the family members. Why did the narrator refer to the Bailey's wife as," the children's mother", like there was no relation between them. I noticed how June and John are very disrespectful to each other and their parents. The grandmother is lonely, very paranoid, thinks highly of herself, and is very detailed oriented.
The end was very sad to me being that the Misfit killed the family and the grandmother, and she still believed that he had a good heart. Somethings that questioned me was whether the baby was a boy or a girl? What was the significance of the cat and the mother. What made the grandmother think that she was in Tennesee?
