Her prejudice side shows through on their trip when she shares stories about a little nigger boy.
The grandmother is persistent on not going to Florida as they have been there before states, “’The children have been to Florida before,’ the old lady said. “You all ought to take them somewhere else for a change so they would see different parts of the world and be broad.

Irony within “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” In the story “A Good Man Is Hard To Find,” Flannery O’Connor creates a sequence of events that lead to a miserable and deathly vacation for a family of six. The family consisting of a grandma, her son, his wife and three children plan a road trip to Florida. Everyone except the grandma is fond of the vacation site, simply because she would rather go to East Tennessee. She tries to justify her thoughts be making a remark about how there is a dangerous criminal on the loose and headed straight for Florida.

The emergence of the scientific revolution was closely related to the art during the Enlightenment period. Flower painting promoted the scientific study of flowers and plants, especially for women, during the Enlightenment. Flowers were deemed something reserved for women. Many women began to study flower anatomy drawing each part of the flower individually and understanding the structure before drawing the flower as a whole in order to represent them as accurately as possible in creating realistic, beautiful paintings. Mary Moser’s flower still life, for example, being released into society played a role in the desire to draw and study flowers and plants.
