The car flips, and yet no one is really injured badly. “Help” then arrives, and you come to realize the “help” isn’t really help at all; it’s the Misfit and his accomplices. You’re horrified when the Misfit has his accomplices take the father and son into the woods and shoots them.

What is the true definition of a “good” person? Perhaps it is people that help others out? People who do things without expecting something in return?

Throughout Flannery O’Conner’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and C.S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces, the theme of “the journey” is apparent in both the physical and spiritual sense.

Beyond being a misfit for the NPR organization Mr. Williams also didn’t seem to believe in NPR’s mission. In another article Mr. Williams was said to be working for both Fox News and NPR. I believe this may have been an indication that Mr. Williams was more biased then
