Worn Path By Eudora Welty
All of the works throughout this semester, the topics covered this semester were really educative. All the poems were the most inspiring section for me. The poem “Theme for English B” by Langston Hughes was really good and inspirational. It helps look at people and understand them differently. It shows how the things were like for African American during that time. The other poem was, “Worn Path” by Eudora Welty. The poem is very motivational for everybody, it shows how not quit in every little steps and keep moving ahead in order to success. The poem taught me not give up and work hard to be successful. Both poems were very motivational. Both poem’s theme were clearly could be spotted and gave me operatively to do my work and work hard on

    Analysis Of A Worn Path By Eudora Welty

    “A Worn Path” by Eudora Welty is a short story about an elderly woman by the name of Phoenix Jackson.

As we read along, it is almost like we are walking with Phoenix down the path. In spite of being an elderly woman, Phoenix Jackson does not use loneliness and racism as an excuse.…

    "Quiet Odyssey" by Mary Paik Lee.

    Life in the United States was anything but heavenly for Asian Americans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As vividly described in Mary Paik Lee's autobiography, "Quiet Odyssey", a very large majority of the Asian American population residing in America during this time period "never had enough money for a normal way of life" (Lee, p.9). They usually had to resort to difficult physical labor to barely get by, jeopardizing their health in the process. Japan's subjugation of Korea, even though it actually took place in Korea, greatly affected the Korean population in America, sometimes even causing some of the initial Korean presence in the States. Lee's story reveals some of the obscure aspects of Korean history that otherwise may be more difficult to excavate. It also depicts the racial discrimination severely rampant during this time, and how Asian Americans worked to better their position in American society despite this obstacle. Asian Americans in Mary Paik Lee's Quiet Odyssey brutally experienced the effects of poverty, degradation, colonialism, and racial discrimination, as reflected in Lee's accounts of personal experience and Asian American Cultures 101 of the University of Washington.…

    Theme of "Battle Royal" by Ralph Ellison and "A Worn Path" by Eudora Welty

    There is no exception here with the short stories "Battle Royal" by Ralph Ellison and "A Worn Path" by Eudora Welty. These stories were written in the times when racism was a huge problem. Both these authors take the issue head on and really rub our faces in the truth. Along with the theme of racism, the stories tell us that a person who feels love towards someone or something will have a purpose in life and will strive to overcome any obstacle along the way. The themes in both Welty and Ellison 's are racism and the ability to overcome anything if you believe in it enough.…

At any point in a persons lifetime, one may go through a journey- whether that journey takes place at a certain time or place, stemmed from a decision or the journey of ones existing lifetime. No matter what or whom, journeys are bound to change us and are inevitable. They offer us development and growth as individuals as well as altering the way we think, act or talk. This can be obtained through overcoming obstacles, achieving goals, anything really that ee encounter during a journey.We often register change as something dangerous, yet we still try our futile attempts at resisting change but at the end of it all, you yourself as a human being would have changed in either a positive or negative way.

    Journeys- A Righteous Day and A Road Not Taken

    The Road by Cormac Mccarthy

    The Road by Cormac Mccarthy

    The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a novel set in a post-apocalyptic world following the path of a Father and Son. McCarthy is a highly celebrated award-winning author. He is 78 years old and has an 8-year-old son – an uncommon circumstance – underlining that for him, death is imminent and prompting him to consider the ideas discussed in his novel. In The Road, the father is undergoing a crisis of faith and so adopts an Existentialist view and creates meaning through his son – who therefore influences many of his actions. I found McCarthy’s use of techniques such as juxtaposition and antithesis that counter the macabre images throughout the book with those of love between the father and Son both repulsive and fascinating at the same time.…

    3 Best Stories

    During my English comp summer session class, I was instructed to read several essays and give my feedback on them. In my opinion, the last three writings were probably the most memorable and important. “Hurricane Katrina”, a story on the immediate and after affects of Hurricane Katrina on the city of New Orleans, was first of these three stories. It focused on real life experiences of people who lived through it, victims giving their heartrending testimonies. “It’s Not Just A Bike”, is about Lacey Taylor and her tireless pursuit in her cause to help bring to a halt thieves stealing bikes from off her school campus. Another story I read was “Free The Children”. It gave constructive criticism to parents who would not generally let their children enjoy their summers out of school. These three compositions were the most significant and interesting to read.…

    Summary Of Michael Puett And Christine Gross-Loh's The Path

    Michael Puett and Christine Gross-Loh attempt to bring Confucius into 21st century American life in their book The Path. At first glance, the book seems to be about equally about discussing Confucius’ way of teaching in his heyday while also providing some ways that they may be applied in our daily modern lives. However, after reading it, the message I got from it was that Puett and Gross-Loh were simply trying to lift bits and pieces out of Confucianism and put them in a modern perspective without any contextualization. In The Path, the authors break one of the simple unwritten “rules” of philosophy: taking a particular kind of philosophy out of its original time period leads to confusion and misinterpretation. I’ll use this essay to speak…
