A Good Man is Hard to Find
“A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor is included in our “Humor, Irony, and Epiphany” unit. What humorous, ironic, or revelatory elements does O’Connor use in the story, and for what literary purpose? Give evidence from the text and analyze the evidence to support your position. Do not summarize the story.
Flannery O’Connor employs a close third person narrator to tell the story. Why does she include the grandmother’s thoughts in the narrative? Consider whether the same effect would be achieved from a 1st person narrator, or from an omniscient narrator? Give evidence from the text and analyze the evidence to support your position. Do not summarize the story.

1. Choose at least two works (novel, play, poem or short story) that depict a conflict between a father and a son. Write an essay in which you analyze the sources of the conflict and explain how the conflict contributes to the meaning of the work. Avoid plot summary. (adapted AP Free Response)
