Mrs. Cope was bent over, diffing fiercely at the nut grass again. "We have a lot to be thankful for," she said. "Everyday you should say a prayer of thanksgiving. (O Connor 130).
I am a little skeptical to believe that Mrs. Cope is actually a genuinely optimistic person. She's witty, she's thankful for everything that she has, and she possesses a positive vibe that absolutely drives Mrs. Pritchard up a wall. After a while, we see that Mrs. Cope becomes more full of herself, because she knows that she is a good person, and lets everyone else know about it. She comes off as such a happy and strong individual, but there is something that comes off that makes me believe that she is very arrogant underneath it all. She seems to have a shorter temper, but overall she seems to be the most thankful person of all the characters in all of the stories.
