Until now when they can finally go on their vacation, they realize that it was a mistake. The day started off wrong when Freddie dyed the laundry pink. Freddie hasn’t always been the brightest. He was a barely passing student, with shaggy brown hair and hazel eyes. Freddie didn’t care much for sports, he played video games, and he was into cars.

“What happened to your knee?”
“I tripped over a root while collecting firewood.” Drew just chuckled at Freddie, still looking for his phone.
“I found it, I found my phone!” Said Drew. Once he found his phone, Freddie and Drew set up a fire and had some dinner. The two brothers both tired and exhausted went to bed and rested for tomorrow's adventure.

“What’s going on?” Freddie asked hesitantly. A police officer approached the two them.
“Are you Freddie and Drew Nagel?”
“Yes, who are you?” asked Drew.
“I am detective White” said the officer.
“It appears to be that there was a murder here, I am sorry, but both of your parents are dead. I am greatly sorry for your loss.” The two brothers just looked at one another astonished.

    Hard To Find

    In my opinion, the story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” is more about good vs. evil. It is about a Grandmother who represents good, and the Misfit who represents evil in this story. The Misfit in this story is a down right brutal killer who ends up killing the whole family that is in this story. This story goes from a good old trip with the family to an encounter with a killer who ends up murdering everyone. With O’Connor’s works, you never really know what or when something is going to happen until the end when you least expect it.…
