I’m really glad they were able to stop her before, she would have embezzled even more. What’s really weird, is the fact that the house she lives in looks like it’s about $100,000 which probably means she was doing her best to cover it up, so no one could notice. Why steal, when you can just work really hard and actually gain that money, and not having to worry to be caught? Some, people just don’t understand business ethics and, just basic moral ethics. I believe we should have classes in Elementary, Middle and High school that stress on ethics in general, because clearly some people don’t have them.

Her final act towards the Misfit was not out of charity, but in attempt to save herself. Set in the South in the 1950s, the grandmother dutily satisfied the stereotypes that blossomed within her generation. She speaks of the older days, when children were more respectful, and good men were easier to find. However, she never expresses what defines a good man, which suggests her unsteady moral foundation. The grandmother also explicitly articulates the racism that was unfortunately common in the South, ironically prevalent in the religious and upper middle class circles like the ones she belonged to.

Next, the text on page 147 states, “She has made us take off our bangles of womanhood and these dresses make our bodies really hot.” This is very important to think about because his mother was making them do things they weren't comfortable with but they had to because she had power over them. I realized that Bryce Courtenay has really put so many factors to think about in the book with anything that can make people upset. And then on page 151 Mother states, “Your nanny was possessed by the devil.” In fact, if any mother said this there kids would of course get upset if you said this about one of there favorite people.

The quirky detail is the Holy Grail being found under a fur coat, and it’s funny because some people have dedicated their lives to finding the Holy Grail, while this woman finds it while thrift shopping. (Unexpected bluntness contributes to the humor in this example.) Later in the story, Gaiman elaborates on the finding, saying “It had a little round paper sticker on the base, and written on it, in felt pen, was the price: 30p” (“Chivalry” 34). The mundaneness of this detail trivializes the Holy Grail, a sacred relic, into a thrift shop item. The contrast and absurdity of these two things makes this

The grandmother uses Jesus as a scapegoat to show how she is a child of God while the Misfit tells of how he really perceives Jesus and that there is no justification of his actions. In the event of the car accident, the Grandmother was left with a physical crisis that quickly showed as her family was sent off into the woods to be killed one by one. This soon transitioned to a spiritual crisis both between the Grandmother and the Misfit as she uses Jesus's name to try and escape her fate.

The Grandmother has a sense that reality should revolve around her and that she should manipulate tools such as religion to benefit her outcome.
