My father, god bless his soul, was a good man. He worked long hours, for his job and his family. Selling his soul to one of the biggest companies on our local planet, Sin 's Corp. A humongous retailer of furniture, my father as a small piece cog in the corporate machine worked away. He drove long nights and days selling furniture to the home owning elite on my planet.

Eli Conklin Mrs. Polesiak English 12 AP 12 February 2023 “A Good Man is Hard to Find” Psychological Lens In “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor, the story reveals the author’s belief and commentary that every person has some capability to be impacted and changed by good.

Wealth, poverty, technology, decadence, the Gilded Age was a time of change and uprooting of past systems, schools of thought, and standards. It was a time of both hope and doubt for the majority of the population and brought many to be empty handed or exceedingly wealthy.
