A Good Man is Hard to Find

One of the ideas of being a good person is respect. As the grandmother says "children were more respectful to their native states and their parents and everything else." Having respect for others and being able to show that respect is showing a quality of a good person. The grandmother's definition of good is different from the Misfit's because the grandmother is all about Jesus and praying where the Misfit doesn't really care for that. He comes off at first respecting the old lady, until she tries to get him to pray. I think the grandmother is probably the most good out of all the characters, the way that she explains things and talks to people, she shows interest and respect. What I make from the Misfit's final comment on the grandmother is that he thinks that she lived her life wrong, and if someone would have been there to shoot her every minute of her life, he believes that she's messed up all her life and that she lived her life wrong.
