Theme

"It isn't a soul in this green world of God's that you can trust."

There was a pistol shot from the woods, followed closely by another.
Then silence.

Style

Flannery O'Connor's style is dark, and even twisted...Gothic-Punk.

Setting

"Would you mind stepping back in them woods there with them?"

"A dirt road," Bailey groaned.

The Car Flipped...

"We flipped twice!"

"Oncet, I watched it happen..."

Red Sammy Butts

"A good man is hard to find...."

Grandma

"You wouldn't shoot a lady, would you?"

Here is the Grandmother. She is a sixties-ish woman who never fails to give her opinion on things that nobody wants to hear about...especially her son, Bailey, who gets easily frustrated with her. Grandma has a well-intentioned way of being overly pessimistic, but she makes up for it--she's Grandma.
