        <description><![CDATA[angela21,
First start with some simplified definitions.
Round--a character with many facets and traits evenly proportioned.
Flat--a character with one dominant trait. (As opposed to a stock character that has only one trait, e.g. evil stepsister, handsome prince.
Dynamic--a character that grows, changes and develops. (Either positively or negatively.)
Static--a character that does not change throughout the story.

        <description><![CDATA[The grandmother is the central character in this story by Flannery O'Connor. The transformational experience of the grandmother finds her being judged by a murderer who has cornered her family.  
He, Misfit, finds the grandmother lacking he criticizes her the same way that she tears into her son and his family always complaining, finding everyone beneath her, feeling superior to everyone.  It is a deliverance of justice in a creepy, eerie...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As a Roman Catholic, Flannery O'Connor was often concerned with the cardinal sins, especially that of pride in her stories.  In "A Good Man is Hard to Find," the grandmother prides herself upon being a lady and a moral one at that.  Hints of the conflict between her and the Misfit appear early in the story when the grandmother takes such care in her dress for the road trip.  She contemplates what a person would perceive if the family has...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Well, to put it simply, The Misfit is a mass murderer intent on killing the grandmother and her family, and understandably, she doesn't want him to.  It makes sense.  That is the overarching conflict between the two.  But, if you want to look at their actual dialogue, there are a couple underlying themes that they seem to have opposing viewpoints on, that causes a bit of friction.  This dialogue appears very near the end of the story, if...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jasonybea,
In "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor, a grandmother, the protagonist, has a long overdue moral and spiritual growth and development.
At first she is a small-minded selfish woman when she remarks:
1) "Oh look at the cute pickaninny"(18)
2) "People are not certainly like they used to be" (36)
3) Blames Europe for "the way things were now" (45)
4) Regretted she didn't marry Mr. Teagarden "because he was a gentleman and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Calvin: Think about the elements of a hero's journey - can they be found in "A Good Man is Hard to Find?"
For instance, one of the main features of a hero's journey is that it is a circular journey: the hero returns to where he started from, this time an enlightened individual.  He has grown physically, psychologically, emotionally, or spiritually. This circular journey does not have to be a physical one in that the hero returns to the same...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The grandmother is thew main character and it is ironic that she rtries to gain respect and evryone ignores her except the children and they are ryude an ignoorant and I believe that the grandmother insisting on having her way is what got the family in trouble.  If she had just sat back and enjoyed the ride and keep her mouth shut they may not have gotten in the situation that was the demise of the whole family except the cat!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The story's main epiphany occurs when the Grandmother has her first unselfish thought in the story, causing her to make a real human connection. At this moment, she says to the Misfit:

"Why you're one of my babies. You're one of my own children!"

This emotional reaction to the Misfit's story stands in stark contrast to her attitudes throughout the rest of the story. She has shown herself to be self centered, elitist, and racist. Her...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A literary analysis essay is, simply, an exploration of what a piece of text is all about. To get started, think of the thesis statement you are working with as a roadmap for your introductory paragraph. Your intro paragraph will then be the roadmap for the rest of the essay.
You can break your thesis statement into two parts to start developing the paragraph. First is the concept "Grace is for everyone." That is a broad, general statement,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In order to understand the part religion plays in the story, you must first understand a little about the author. Flannery O'Conner was a devout Roman Catholic and considered the idea of "grace" as a "divine pardon from God" that is freely available from God just by asking for it. Faith is undeserved and comes at a moment of great insight.  In the story, the Grandmother, who is a decidedly unlikeable character, obtains grace at her death. As...]]></description>
