Analyzing O 'Connor's Good Country People'

1. In "Good Country People" what is the effect of O'Connor's use of the phrase "good country people" throughout the story, and why is it an appropriate title? Explain.

Use of the phrase “Good country people” tells me that O'Connor is giving the impression that people living in countryside are nothing but good. This could be her experience or knowledge of the country people. It is also to built an unexpected outcome, so, the reader will not doubt the intentions of the “Good country people” in this case the confession of the bible salesman, that he is just a country boy trying to make a living. O’Connor chose the bible salesman; it could have been anything but, the bible. This was another intention of O’Connor to make the reader believe that

She was so simple even after having earned a Ph. D. One would imagine that she should be more careful trusting a stranger that fast. In her dealing with her immediate family she is more careful to limit herself. However, this ironic change was not expected of her.
In O’Connor’s writing it’s not surprising to see the irony play in all the characters. Hulga had her own opinion of the Country people being Good. She was trying to fit the bible salesman into her own imaginative character. I don't understand Hulga is an atheist than why she is worried about if the bible salesman is a Good country Christian? Maybe she was living in the state of denial of being an atheist just as she was in denial that all the country people are good people. Another, problem that I saw with Hulga, that she was upset about her wooden leg being taken away from her as this was in her consciences was an attack on her independence. Yet, at the age of thirty she still is living with her parents. She doesn't have anything to support her but to live with her parents, even though, she wanted to get out of there. This could be the reason for her desperate intent in order to flee her parent’s house that she agreed to meet this

I read it over and over, from the start O’Connor’s use of describing the family in such a detail, their travel, she did a wonderful job by using so much details that I could feel if as I am part of the story. At the same time, these details have made it very hard to interpret the “A Good Man is Hard to Find” to one meaning. There is the disordered family, the old generation complaining about how things use to be good in old days. The selfish, self-centered grandmother and grandchildren, fathers who don't have much say in anything, the mention of the religious phrases. I had a better understanding of the story in a form of compartmentalization, for example, the family and their description as O’Connor puts it I can foresee how the trip is going to be. It was a challenge making sense of or to interpret a single mean of the last part in which the family was murdered. The story as I understood it is a predicate of two different situations. In the first part the family and their journey. On the second note, the predicament that they faced after the accident told a story of its own. Now how they relate to the whole set of things presented another challenge of
