I need help comparing the grandmother from "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" and Julian's mother from "Everything That Rises Must Converge"

Both women are very much a product of their respective
generations. The grandmother in "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" is an elderly, cantankerous
woman who is stunned at the way her children and grandchildren behave. The children are
disrespectful and do not appreciate anything the grandmother has to offer. On many
occasions the woman is treated as noisy furniture. The grandmother is not the picture of
innocence, however. She attempts to push her beliefs and ideas on others regardless of
their interest. The grandmother also has an obsessive bent, particularly when it comes
to other people that are different. The grandmother’s worst nightmare becomes real when
she meets one of those people in the form of “The Misfit.” Even in the face of danger
the grandmother does not waver.

Julian's mother in
"Everything That Rises Must Converge" is similar in the following ways. The mother is a
proper woman who feels she must always be dressed to perfection. However, the times of
her youth make her feel guilty about spending any money on anything that is not a dire
necessity. Like the grandmother and her son, Julian’s mother argues with young Julian
and constantly wonders where she went wrong in his upbringing. The son does things to
shock his mother and like the grandmother, the woman takes the
bait.
