Good Country People
I really enjoyed this short story "Good Country People". This story was mainly about joy she lived with her mother on a small farm. She was a handy cap she has only one leg that she lost hunting. Now she walks on a fake leg that she is very affraid of . People called her hulga she is a smart individual with a PHD and does nothing with it but lays up around hr mothers house doing nothing but reading. Her mother wants and trys to help her but all she does is complain about things and gets angry wanting to fight her. A man that sales bibles he visits her home shes excited because she like this man he stays there for dinner with her sort of like a date and they plan one the next day. Hulga likes this man alot and she thinks she can get him to liking her as well by seducing him. Well the next day the bible saleaman takes her into the barn and trying to take her fake leg off. He places it into a case with alchol and porn and then procedes out of the barn with her leg then she finds out that this man is not a bible salesman he steals fake legs. i really enjoyedthe way this aurthor wrote this story it seems as if this story is relly true.

I also enjoyed the story Good Country People it was simple but very interesting. Although rather boring in some way it got my attention because of the character and awkward personality that she displayed. Joy is a promiscuous character she believes herself cunning and yet she is vulnerable in her approach to life. She is tricked at the end of the story and perhaps she realizes that after all her education she can be naive in some area.
