Description
We are going to write final draft rn, I got some comments and feedback on the first draft you can check it out,
according to the comments, I think my professor wants me use the story to illustrate a social phenomenon, i think he wants to see some interesting unique thinking of the insight in the essay, not just the analysis of the story.
So the essay format should be talking about a social phenomenon which could reflect the insight (O’Connor demonstrates the flawed nature of human beings and emphasizes on their hypocritical ways and use of religion to support one’s agendas.
), analysis it, give some example maybe, and use some quotes from story and secondary resources to support the insight.
For the final draft,80% should about the phenomenon, analysis of phenomenon or whatever interesting unique thinking about the insight, 20% use the quotes from story and secondary resources to support the insight.

Morality as depicted in “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” by O’Connor
In “A Good Man Is Hard To Find,” O’Connor presents the readers with a strange form of
morality that is manifested by many characters mainly the grandmother and Red Sam. O’Connor
depicts a morality whereby immoral people claim integrity and hypocrisy and moral corruption
are fascinatingly attached to superficially “good” people. As a result, there are two types of
people in the story, those who out rightly know they are bad people and the ones who insists and
perceive themselves to be good people although their actions show otherwise. The characters
who fall in the first category include the Misfit who rejects all the grandmother’s attempts to
brand him as a good person as he knows the kind of person he is. In the second category of bad
people who believe to be good falls the grandmother and Red Sam. While the grandmother
perceives herself to be a good, religious and respectable woman, an aspect she emphasizes
through her choice of clothing, her actions depict the opposite. She is in the real sense selfish,
self-centered, and manipulative. Similarly, although Red Sam perceives himself to be a good
man as highlighted by the grandmother, he keeps a monkey cruelly chained and only portrays
himself as a wholesome virtuous veteran in order to attract more customers. Hence, through the
actions and nature of these characters, O’Connor emphasizes that only the consistent, thorough
and honest self-reflection of an individual has the ability to yield true integrity in a person.
