The short stories, "A Good man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Conner and "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner are rather horrifying; one tale is about a grandmother and her family brutally murdered by a coldhearted killer, and the other tale is about a lady who murders her lover and then sleeps beside his rotting body.

The two short stories, “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor and “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara, both share the theme of being influenced by a person or event. In “The Lesson,” the story is told through the dynamic main character, Sylvia, who always criticized things around her despite her coming from a poor neighborhood. In “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” the author narrates the story about an encounter between a grandmother with her family and a character called the Misfit. A connection I’ve found between these two stories are the similar personalities of the characters Sylvia from “The Lesson” and the Misfit from “A Good Man is Hard to Find” that I’ve noticed from their dialogue. In “The Lesson,” Sylvia experiences something new that changes her perspective, and in “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” the past experiences of the Misfit have changed his perspective in life that led to his actions in the story.
