In the story, the grandmother is promptly filled with practically otherworldly love and comprehension that are from God. She treats The Misfit as a kindred enduring person whom she is committed to love because of that moment of grace that God gives her at a sudden. (Every individual should have compassion to others and love his kindred people like himself, even his foes. As Jesus instructs all of us to. )
The Grandmother is the only member of the family still alive at this point. The misfit holds the grandmother at gunpoint. The grandmother uses faith as a way to escape death and pleads for the character to spare her life. “Pray!” The grandmother pleads pathetically.
The ghost is disgusted that she cannot see her son who had died earlier. The ghost does not understand why she cannot see her son when she gave all her love to him and no love to anyone else. The spirit tries to convince his sister to understand that although she has devoted all her love to one being it is in the wrong being, as, once again, the only way to get to Heaven is to believe in God and no one else.

The author created The Misfit as a character who was out and about killing people just because he wanted to. With that being said, The Misfit drives a car to the scene where the family is stranded, and the car is symbolic. The car he drives is symbolic because “A few minutes after the accident with all of the shaken adults huddled in the ditch, the family notices a hearse-like automobile approaching slowly from the top of the hill” (Bloom). This is symbolic in the fact that the color black symbolizes death, evil, and power in which all of those make sense.

“Then I was left all alone on the mourners ' bench. My aunt came and knelt at my knees and cried, while prayers and song swirled all around me in the little church. The whole congregation prayed for me alone, in a mighty wail of moans and voices. And I kept waiting serenely for Jesus, waiting, waiting - but he didn 't come.

I had to get on the phone and say in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, ‘This is Mrs. Tan’”(10). This shows how her mother affected her childhood in the way that she even had to talk for her so that other people would understand and take her seriously. The way Tan includes this quote shows that as a child she had to help her mom in many major ways.

One month before the devil showed his true self. Opening my eyes I look over to see my angel Lenore still sleeping, her hair tickling her face as she breaths in, out, in, out. Her nose twitched every once in awhile making her freckles dance across her face. Even though she was asleep her features were perfect, a button nose, golden freckles, jet black hair and when she awoke I’d be welcomes with two forest green eyes that always had a shimmer in them. “ You are one of God’s masterpieces” I say to her even though she was not awake yet.
