In the short story “A good man is hard to find” it has a great plot,good characters and a good setting to help the people that are reading this story better understand it and i am here to tell you why. 

So with the first one being the plot of the story You will notice that it directly says what the plot of the story is and where they are going which is on a vacation to Florida and it does say where they live and where they are going in the almost beginning of the story  But the grandmother seems to have a problem with going to that specific place instead she wants to go somewhere else and is trying to change someone's mind about it .``The grandmother didn’t want to go to Florida She wanted to visit some of her connections in east Tennessee and she was seizing at every chance to change Bailey’s mind.”(Narrarator). 

The second topic of  this story is the setting while it doesn't directly tell you where it is it does take a while to figure out where it is and what time frame this is  taking  place i am going to guess this took place during the 1940’s / early 1950’s era but This is still a good setting."They passed a large cotton field with five or six graves fenced in the middle of it, like a small island." (O'Connor 3)”. 

And the Third and final topic of this short story  Would be the characters,There are a lot of characters in the story and it's not just two or less characters  There are more than two In fact there are eight characters in the story And that consist of the grandmother,the misfits,Bailey,John Wesley,June Star,the mother,Red Sammy Butts and Bobby Lee. “Why are you one of my babies. You're one of my own children!”  (The grandmother). 

This is why in the short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, it has a great plot, good characters and a good setting to help people understand the story better while reading it And focus on what it's really about.
