"she would of been a good woman," the misfit said, "if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life." write a paragraph of at least 250 words describing your thoughts on what the misfit meant by this statement about the grandmother and what o'connor might be trying to say about people and good versus evil.

This phrase comes from the short story, "A good man is hard to find" written by Flannery O'Connor.

This tale was published in 1953 and accompanies a vacation trip of a grandmother with her family. The old lady would like the trip to be another destination and unsuccessfully try to persuade the family to go to Tennessee rather than Florida. From the beginning, it is clear that the grandmother is a difficult and stubborn person, and that her relatives only tolerate her out of necessity because she does not show kindness in her actions.

The Misfit speaks the phrase "She would have been a good woman, if she had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life." to describe that grandma's goodness is a false thing, a seeming thing that only comes when the old lady feels her actions are being watched by someone and this one will judge what she does as good or bad.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
