short stoy :A Good Man is Hard to Find” Flannery O”Connor

Speech	What does the character say? How does the character speak?
Thoughts	What is revealed through the character’s private thoughts and feelings?
Effect on Others	What is reveled through the character’s effect on other people? How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character?
Actions	What does the character do? How does the character behave?
Look	What does the character look like? How does the character dress?

Choose your favorite character from one of the selected readings for this week. Use the STEAL method outlined above to analyze the character you selected in 250-500 words.
