Assignment Description:  Write a 2-3-page literary analysis of the short story

Assignment Description:  Write a 2-3-page literary analysis of the short story “A Worn Path” by Eudora Welty. As you read the story, take careful notes of aspects you find meaningful or interesting, paying special attention to literary devices, the setting (time/place of the story), and authorial style.  After engaging in personal and critical response to the story and consulting outside sources, you will write a literary analysis. You will not merely summarize the plot or give a personal response. Rather, you will compose an argument about a specific aspect of the story that expresses your interpretation in a detailed way.  You will use quotes and specific details of the text to underscore your points.
