This story was really weird. It was about a family that goes on a family vacation and at the end, gets killed by a man that goes by the name as The Misfit. I expected there to be a moral to this story or something along those lines but there wasn't. The story was incredibly random and there was no point to it. The grandmother was the person that had the main role in the story. The grandmother was the one that caused the accident because she asked the father and convinced the kids to beg their father to go to some old plantation and she realized that it was in a different state. This grandmother was very erratic and it seemed like she had short term memory loss. The part of the story that struck out to me the most was when the grandmother called a black kid a nigger and a pickaninny. I was not expecting this story to be set in a time pretty close to slavery.
I have no idea how the title of the story A Good Man Is Hard to Find because it never really came up in the short story. The father Bailey was a very hard man and didn't really enjoy anything while The Misfit was crazy and had people killed just because he felt like it.
