LaunchPad: Flannery O'Connor's South
Today's starting point? Atlanta. Destination? Florida. Although the family in "A Good Man is Hard to Find" lives in Atlanta, their journey to Florida takes them along the relatively new highways of the 1950s, including rural country roads. The images included are from the American Memory Collection. Students may work in teams in the computer lab or independently at home to follow the family from "A Good Man is Hard to Find" on their journey from Georgia to Florida. Students will examine the setting, the historical context, the characters, and the religious elements.
