eek. well. creeper creeper is right. actually i didnt so much get the creeper impression - just weird. like i feel like i missed something.
so this story was about how this family was taking a road trip down to florida - a grandmother, her son, her daughter in law, and her two grand children. and along the way - they come to a car crash. From this crash they come into contact with this serial killer on the loose - that being The Misfit.
level 1: why was the grandmother hesitant about going on this trip
level 2: what caused the car crash in the first place?
level 3: did the Misfit really kill his father? What caused the Misfit to be this way?
so this story - lets just say the grandmother got on my nerves a whole hell of a lot. i liked the story though - it wasnt boring, it didnt ramble on - the charactors were individuals and certainly Bailey and the grandmother were round charactors - made the story much more interesting. plus, it was suspenseful. and it gave an inside look on what was going on inside the charactors head a bit - particularly the grandmother - gave us an inside perspective on the story, and helped us be with them more in the moment. i dont know though - the correlation and long talk about Jesus and what not confused me - i just dont get truly the purpose. Was the Misfit right in the head? What was the purpose of the last line. he acted like, by talking to the grandmother, that having no morals and no values and whatever and killing people is pleasurable. he enjoys it - the revenge, burning peoples houses down etc, but at the end of the story - when bobby lee laughed and said oh fun! when the misfit said the grandmother shouldve been shot every day of her life - the misfit was saying that is no pleasure. was what he was putting off to the grandmother a front? was the misfit actually unhappy - what was his deal. i really dont have the answers. it was confusing. was the grandmother out of her mind. of course, we all know that everyone was killed - that is a given though.

You raise some really good questions here. You're right--the meaning is confusing, and as we'll discuss in class, even critics can't seem to agree on what it all means.
