The short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" was written by Flannery O'Conner. This was an interesting short story for it started out normal and ended with a bang, literally. A family of four; husband, wife, little boy, a little girl and new baby, go out to visit the grandmother who insists they should go to Tennessee instead of Florida for the family vacation. She secretly packs her pet cat in the car, which later on ends up causing the beginning to all the problems. The family stops for lunch at a near by diner and they are introduced to this Misfit character who is dangerous criminal on the loose. As the family is driving, the car hits a bump and the cat flies across the car into Bailey, the driver and the car ends up flipping over into a ditch. No one is hurt but as they get out the car two mysterious men walk over to help them and the Grandmother knew the one looked familiar but it didn't exactly hit her until a little later. She then realized he was the Misfit, which was a life threatening thing to recognize.
