Two Diverse Forms of Genres in Literature can be Comparable
Stories and poems are small bits of literature that are unique from other forms of writing. They are constructed differently as the writers message is conveyed exclusively through the imagination of the author’s creative style, setting and rhythm for the delivery narrative. This creative imagination gives the reader the opportunity to visualize and connect to the literatures symbolization and descriptive language. “The Road Not Taken” and “A Worn Path” are very different genres and writing styles but are comparable with the same theme. The theme in both of these literary works shows symbolism of the Journey and advocate that our choices made along the path of life changes our destination and our destiny that makes us who we are today.
The short story A Worn Path by Eudora Welty’s is written in a third person to convey the message in this story, more defined as limited omniscient. Our text states that this is being told through a narrator outside the story who is all-knowing, and conveys the inner thoughts and feelings of just one of the characters (Clugston, 2010). The routine pattern of the word “she” is indicates to the reader that is information they are receiving is second hand from the character. This point of view connects the reader to the main character who is Phoenix. The character in this short story is an elderly feeble African American woman with a diminishing mind and frail body structure that is determined to make her destination. This third person point of view shows the characters inner and outer dialog that brings important information for the reader connection, sensitivity and knowledge of how tough and determined she was. The creative style allows the reader imagination of how the women looked. As the short story reads “She wore a dark striped dress
