The story "A worn path" of Eudora Welty is about an old African American woman named Phoenix Jackson. Jackson went out in the early morning of December walking trough a long path.
Phoenix walked that path since far out in the country until she arrived to the town. While she walked slowly trough the path trying to arrive to were she was heading she encountered various obstacles, first she tangle with a bush, then she had to jump a fence, third she thought she saw a ghost and it was just a scarecrow and fourth she bumped with a white man that didn't wanted to let her continue with her destiny because he thought she was too old, but she continued anyway. When she bumped with the white man she saw that from his pockets a nickel had fallen and she stole that nickel from the man even though she knew that, that was not right. When she finally arrived to the town she entered trough a door and a women asked her, her personal information and Phoenix just stood there without saying anything. Finally a nurse that knew her and came out and asked Phoenix why was she here and also how was her grandson, but Phoenix had forgotten all of that. The nurse was patience, but after a while,she gave Phoenix some medicine for her grandson.
Because it was Christmas the nurse offered to Phoenix some pennies and Phoenix said that if she gave her 5 pennies that would be a nickel so the nurse gave her a nickel and phoenix said that was going to pay for her grandson a windmill made of paper This shows readers that the smallest thing can lead to the biggest thing. After that she said she was going to walk to her house until she arrived and her grandson and he sees what she had got for him.
For me it was impressive how this old woman had walked that far and besides all of the obstacles she had encountered in the way she never quit. I liked also how important was for her, her grandson and bringing him such a simple present in Christmas with that appreciation and happiness. This story can teach us all to appreciate all we have and also all of the simple and little tings in life too. Also it teaches readers that no mater the obstacles in life we never should give up because at the end we would find a prize.
