he used to visit. She pointed to an old grave yardvisible to the road. The more she thought about it the more she wanted to go back and see it. She knew that the family would not be up for seeing an old run down hat. What does she do? She begins to lie profusely, telling John Wesley about a secret trap door that has never been foundto this day. This, in turn, cause the children to want to go visit the house and after constantridicule the father turns the car around. They begin to go down a narrow dirt road. The cat jumps out of the bag and inturn causes the car to wreck. When they get out of the car she decided not to tell them that theplantation she was thinking about was in Tennessee, not Georgia. By her bringing the cat alongand insisting that they go see the house, causes them to wreck. Her childish behavior was thecause of all of this. When they have an encounter with the misfit, she constantly pleads for him not toharm her or her family. She tells him to believe in Jesus. Fearing for her life she tries any meansnecessary to get the man to see things her way. You are one of my children she says. He turnedaround and shot her three times in the chest. Why does all of this happen? It comes back to my theory you reap what you sew. Her constantly being a hassle for her and her family eventually caught up with her. If she hadbeen more cooperative, none of this would have ever happened. If she hadnt brought the cat orwanted to see that house, they would have made it to Florida and been getting some sun on thebeach. Whether or not people believe this, when you do bad things, they will comeback to hauntyou eventually. However, if you do good things, they will come back and help you somehow. Ithink the grand mother should have been more concerning for her family instead of being soconcerned for herself. The whole scene with the misfit, it seems as if she is changing her ways. But it was too late to change you ways befo...
