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

The story A Good Man Is Hard To Find by Flannery O'Connor is a story that I very much enjoyed. Although it is sad that all the characters die at the end, it is still a very nice story. I enjoyed the organization of the story and how the story reads. I thought it was pretty clear and simple. I also enjoyed the plot of the story and thought it was very interesting, and the major themes of the story, such as good vs. evil, manipulation, family, society, and class, were clearly showed and easy to understand. This story kept me engaged the entire time, and I was even shocked at some points like when the murderer came to help the family and then killed them. Wow!

I though that the title of this story was a great title to give such a piece, because the title has an overall message in itself, and I love titles that do that. The significance of this title is to show that not everybody in the world are genially good people, and it s very hard nowadays to find a genially nice and good person. Relating back to the theme of manipulation, this title can have significance supporting that theme. At first, the murderer, the Misfit, seemed pretty nice, because he was helping the family, but then he turns around and kills them all. This also shows how people may seem nice at first, but at the end of the day, they are still bad people. It is sad to know that we live in such a sad, violent and corrupt society filled with bad people, and I don't believe this to change anytime soon. We just have to start getting ready for the future world, and have make sure that you try your hardest to remain a good person.
