A Good Man Is Hard To Find Critical Analysis

A Deeper Look into the Importance of Literature I really liked “A Good Man Is Hard to Find.” One aspect I found comforting was the fact that the older generation would reminisce of the past. I have seemed to reminisce a lot more. I’m not sure why I do it. I guess part of me wants to keep those good memories. But I was so busy reminiscing that I failed to make new memories in the present day. I see the same thing happen to the Grandmother in the story. Here she is wanting to go to her home state of Tennessee so bad, that she puts her whole family in danger instead of enjoying a family trip. As a reader I like the unpredictable. Now many could have predicted the Misfit to show up. But many didn’t predict the death of the whole family including

People don’t have to be good and they don’t have to be necessarily bad. People are more complex than that. Now the Misfit it’s obviously not a good man, but the only one in the whole story that shows any evidence of being good is Red Sam. But even Red Sam is only running a business.

But I’ve learned that the misfortune mustn’t come from another character, but as a random unforeseeable lesson of

Literature can be viewed in many different lights. That’s all the more reason for a reader to experience itself first hand. People shouldn’t “wait until the movie comes out” because they wouldn’t actually be experiencing the writers work first hand and form their own opinions. Instead, they are watching another person’s interpretation of the work forced to accept their visions of the characters, and their opinions of how the literary work should be viewed. This has been going on for a very long time now and it belittles the importance of literature. Literature when used as an escape, is very enjoyable. Sure literature makes the reader devote time to fully experience it, but with more effort comes more reward. After hours and hours of reading the ending of a literary work is either the best reward of the reader’s effort or the worst waste of the reader’s time. Nevertheless, a reader can’t help but have a sense of achievement after reading the ending of a literary work. That sense of achievement can lead to a boost in confidence and gives the reader a reason to read more, expanding the information the reader
