Is This All From The "One Big Story"?

Foster is a smart man when he says that all stories come from one main story and also that most characters have been seen before somewhere else. In all of these stories right off the bat they seemed a little bit predictable for me, but that could be because of all my book reading and the hundred of movies that I have seen before. I say this because it is almost purely predictable what the criminal or "bad guy" is going to do in all of these stories, and that is kill or extremely injure an innocent person. Although to me in Good Country People and A good Man is Hard to Find I found the "bad guy" humorous and enjoyed reading them fulfill the plot of violence, but I do not say that because I am evil but just that I get bored with the same stuff and these two stories had humor and sarcasm.

In Good Country People I think that Joy or (Hulga) is a common character, she seems helpless at first when you find out that she has a wooden leg but then read on to find out that she is very well educated and very independent. I actually find her and the grandmother from A Good Man is Hard to Find the same characters. They have the same attributes the difference with the grandmother is that her being old and remembering the good Ð''old days is her "handicap". I could even compare them both to the wife in Young Goodman Brown and Giovani in Rappaccini's Daughter but I won't do that.

One of the connections with the bible would probably have to come from A Good Man is Hard to Find, the Misfit is sort of a disciple at least to me while the grandmother tries to be like Christ especially at the end when she says that he is her child and she knows him and all sorts. The misfit is searching for his answers and is a follower and could have been a great follower of Christ for what the disciples were in the bible. They were all misfits coming from completely opposite backgrounds of ordinary good people. The grandmother
