Welty, Eudora. “A Worn Path.” Literature for Composition. Ed. Brad Potthoff. Boston: Pearson, 2017. 1308-1313. Print.

“A Worn Path” is a short story from the textbook “Literature for Composition”. I used this story to detail the struggle through a hero’s journey. Some struggles are physical. Other struggles are emotional or mental. I use quotes from the story to document my points in the essay.

Evans, Robert. “A Worn Path Student's Encyclopedia of Great American Writers, Volume 4.” LOUIS Authentication, 2011, bpcc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.infobase.com.bpcc.idm.oclc.org%2FAuth%2FIndex%3Faid&itemid=WE54&articleId=478033.

This article talks about how A Worn Path addresses racism, and white superiority. I will add this to my point about mental obstacles. I may also use it in the rest of my research paper. I will also use it to back how I feel about how Welty describes Phoenix’s age. This article also discusses Phoenix’s spirit which may be referenced.

Hall, Joan Wylie. "A Worn Path: Overview." Reference Guide to Short Fiction, edited by Noelle Watson, St. James Press, 1994. Literature Resource Center, http://link.galegroup.com/apps/doc/H1420008497/LitRC?u=lln_abpcc&sid=LitRC&xid=90660c30. Accessed 14 Sept. 2018.

This article dives deeper in the short story about Phoenix Jackson. The writer reads between the lines of her struggles and interprets the struggles. I will use this reference to back points about her age and race being an obstacle for her. It is also an overview of the entire story of Phoenix. The writer describes the symbolism in the story as well, which I will use.
