My favorite characters are Margaret, Morris and Alexander Rose. I like Margaret because she’s not afraid to fight for what she believes in and reminds me to never give up.

Reading all three of the short stories Where Have You Been by Joyce Carol Oates, A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor, and A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner, they all expand the idea of the “bad guy.” The antagonists are the ones that truly develop the situation of stories, because without them there wouldn't be a conflict, or a story in general...
