The story is told by the grandmother who goes on a trip with the whole family. She wants to go to Tennessee to see plantations that she remembers from childhood. but the family wants to go Florida. the grandmother is a lady and always "acts" like a lady according to her, as well as dressing like one. On their vacations they encounter the Misfit. all the family members act in greed and with greediness during this trips where we find out about the characters. the family has the grandmother which is constantly talking and a selfish woman because she doesn't consider the rest of the family only herself. The mother doesn't discipline her children therefore causing more irritation for the family and disrespect. John Wesley and June Star are the kids who are both badly behaved children. they do no listen to the parents or respect the elders their grandmother. The Misfit himself is selfish for taking the away from the world although they could be consider bad but also good people...the central theme of greed is present in the story and throughout the characters actions.
