August 26

AGENDA

1. Vocabulary quiz
2. Watch interview with Eudora Welty on “A Worn Path”
3. Class Discussion on “A Worn Path”

HW: Choose one essay prompt and write a well-developed, analytical essay answering the prompt. Due Sunday night by 12:00am to my email, dbyrne@righetti.us.

Choose one topic for your essay:
-How does the title fit the story? How are the psychological and physical elements of the story embedded?
-Describe the form of the story? How does Welty use the rising action to set the story apart? How does it mirror Phoenix’s path?
-Critic Roland Barthes has said, “Literature is the question minus the answer.“ Analyze this central question to what extent does this short story answer it?
