A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'connor

This story has a mixture of humor and dark events. It starts off by getting the reader to  understand the dynamics of this family. The grandmother appears to be an awful mother-in-law as she can't even address her daughter-in-law by name. The children seem to be a little spoiled, and the dad seems to have resigned from trying to control the people around him. Their road trip seems normal, and the accident unfortunate. The drama begins when the car full of the convicts pulls up. At first you think the men will help them, or at least just let them be, but the author takes us through a series of increasingly shocking but realistic events. The fact that the entire family including a baby and grandmother are shot in cold-blood murder is awful, and at the end of the story the reader is left  with anger at the grandmother because it seems like it is thanks to her mouth that the entire family dies. One can only imagine how the dead bodies will be found in such a secluded part of the forest.
