Grace [21]
<span>Both stories are old Indian legends that involve the same character a trickster spider fairy named Iktomi. In the Ducks and the Blanket story Iktomi is hungry but in both stories he isn't successful in eating the food. Even when he tricked the ducks the wolves got the food and the deer meat disappeared because in both cases he was worried about what ever else was going on and not eating his food. I think this story is trying to tell people to complete tasks before moving on.</span>

Which statement best describes how the theme of good vs. evil interacts with the theme of decaying southern culture in O'Connor'
Licemer1 [7]

The correct answer is "The grandmother represents old southern culture in the story because she is racist, selfish and evil but appears to be a good southern lady on the outside". "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," first published in 1953, is one of the most Flannery O'Connor's famous stories. O'Connor was a staunch Catholic, and like most of her stories, "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" are about good and evil and the possibility of divine grace. The grandmother gives great importance to being "a lady," and her ideas about what that means reflect an old-fashioned, somewhat upper-crust Southern mindset. All end up in her to associate being "good" with coming from a respectable family and behaving like a member of her social class.
