PLEASE HELP!!! Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

(From the story "A good man is hard to find")

"She would of been a good woman," The Misfit said, "if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life."

Write a paragraph of at least 100 words describing your thoughts on what The Misfit meant by this statement about the grandmother and what O'Connor might be trying to say about people and good versus evil.

Here’s a main idea: Misfit meant that the grandmother would have only been a good person if she knew that she was being watched and judged. If She were to do something good, she would not be doing this because she cares about doing the right thing, but because she knew she would most likely get something out of it. (I hope this helps)
