A Good Man Is Hard To Find

""But nobody's killed," June Star said with disappointment..." This quote on page 909 in the story, "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor is a foreshadow of things to come. Not only is it foreshadowing, that whole page had me laughing. I can just imagine two kids running around screaming "We've had an ACCIDENT" and the grandmother suddenly realizing that the house was in Tennessee. I found it interesting that all the kids had names, her son, Bailey, and Bailey's kids, June Star and John Wesley, but the grandmothers name is never mentioned, nor is Bailey's wife's name. I'm not quite sure why that is. Maybe because the grandmother kind of acts like a typical mother-in-law, trying to be a part of her kid's life, so the author didn't name her because she can be anybody. But then again, not every mother-in-law is shot off the side of a dirt road...
