Reflection #2: A Good Man is Hard to Find

The short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" wrote by Flannery O' Connor began with a family that will going to take a vacation, the grandmother want to go to Tennessee to visit some of her connections and her son Bailey want to go went to Florida. The grandmother wants to change her son mind and shows him a newspaper a news of a criminal that escape from a Florida's jail a call himself The Misfit, but Bailey ignore her. Later during the trip they have and accident; after that three man appeared for “help” them, but one man of them was the The Misfit and he commanded to his men to kill the family. The grandmother was the last and she beg to him that do not kill her and to think in Jesus, but anyways the man kills her with three shoots. This story have moral and religious situation. When the grandmother says: “I know you are a good man”, she defines that person like herself are good people, but she is trying to convinces to the Misfit to not kill her, so, she began to said to him that began to pray in Jesus but when she cry out: “Oh Jesus, Jesus” she is not pray for help, is cursing and she really means “do not shoot me”. The Misfit got “pleasure” (he said that in the world is not pleaure), in hurting others because his experience of life had shown how others found enjoyment in hurting him, because everyone has a good and evil in themselves but sometimes we only see one side of them and forget that they have another good side.
