Differences and Similarities A Good Man Is Hard to Find...

Differences and similarities between the two short stories Third party point of view Both the stories A good man is hard to find and The prisoner who wore glasses have been narrated from a third person perspective; the main characters in the former being the grandmother who is Baileys mother and the misfit (the convict on the loose) and Brille the prisoner being the main character in the latter. Both the writers have tried to portray the society in different aspects and settings. Brilles story is based in a prison setting while Baileys family story is set at their home after which the next day they travel for vacation. Breakdown in social moral values This is one of the themes that stand out in both the two short stories. John Wesley and June Star (Baileys children) are portrayed as unruly children who sometimes hurl unreasonable utterances at their grandmother but their parents dont seem to be in a hurry to discipline them. They lack respect no wonder their grandmother is prompted to state how the values in the present society are breaking down. Red Sammys wife also seems to agree with that statement saying that people are not the way they used to be. Despite the fact that this has been noted, the grandmother fails to acknowledge her own shortcomings ; her self centeredness, her nags, her lies and the way she uses offensive, racist terms like calling people nigger. The misfit displays depreciated moral values since he seems not to care about killingShow MoreRelatedLogical Reasoning189930 Words   |  760 Pagesreasoning has been enjoyable for me, but special thanks go to my children, Joshua, 8, and Justine, 3, for comic relief during the months of writing.
