Every time the grandmother told The Misfit that he "did not have common blood," she was trying to save her own life. This statement is taken from "A Good Man is Hard to Find" story written by Flannery O'Connor in 1953 about a grandmother and a serial killer named Misfit. This statement is said by the grandmother to manipulate "The Misfit" when "The Misfit" attempted to kill her family and her.
I'm kind of confused as to what is being asked.... but this is my best answer.
SOCIAL Prejudice, (maybe legal if we talk about the consequence to his actions)
why it cant be the others--->
racial ---- they say nothing about race here.
(MAYBE) legal----- from the passage, we can say that the guy is richhhhh, and he might be able to wave off the consequences of his murder. but then again you only analyze this passage so, probably not
environmental---- they don't mention the environment....
THE REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE SOCIAL- their social standings in this situation
-diamond ring (if thats what they mean by diamond ring finger, it could mean something else as well) only the rich can afford, a cane too
- hotel society gathering... (rich)
-poor Hattie Carroll could be literal as well.
The Friends Of The Earth want to protect the environment. As you may know, repellents have been know to have negative effects on the environment, making FOTE wanting to voice their concerns.
