Reflexion # 2 A good man is hard to find

This story is like a "Wrong turn" movie. A family killed by going to a place because of an error. Thats why it was so interesting, its started with a dysfunctional family that doesn't seem to get in an agreement. They had planned a trip to Florida, in which the more time passes, the more close to death they are. You noticed those things because of the details the authors gives you (talking about the misfit, dressing like a lady in case of her death, Toombsboro, the plantation beforw a graveyard , trying to run away from death, the cat, the Commander Sherman of the Civil war and also she recognizing the misfit and the comment he told her after that).

Other point is how this story shows how most of the people lose their faith in God very easily and how most of humans try to save only themselves and do not worry about others. Not only that, you will see how on these days the kids manage to have a disrespectful behavior to the elders and nobody tells them nothing. Bad communication, dysfunctional families, disrespect, bad parenting, not using safety measures, "good and bad people", and the comparison of old times and the modern times... this are some of the other themes on the story.
