I firmly believe that people reap what they sew. In the story, A Good Man Is Hard to Find, thegrand mother is a prime example of this scenario. Her pathetic ploys and acts of deviance causeharm to the family throughout the story and it ends up coming back to her in the end.

I know that Bailey is her some, but why does she constantly aggravate him? My mother picks on me occasionally but never to the extent of the grandmother.The grandmother was a very dishonest person. She began telling little JohnWesley ( her grandson), about a plantation s...
