"Good" is Hard to Find


Great discussion today! O'Connor is difficult to sort through and she leaves readers asking difficult questions--you're doing a great job sorting through the story to get to that point. Within this story, she consistently uses the word good--"good blood", "good man", "good woman". O'Connor pushes us to question what is good. So my question is--based on this story, what is good? What makes a person good? Consider The Misfit's statement: "She would of been a good woman...if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life."

Make sure to support your answer with specific examples. :)
