Eudora Welty's A Worn Path

In the short story “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez was very unclear to me because it’s sort of scattered throughout the entire story. By the story jumping from one situation to another as the reader, I was left confused. For instance, the baby is sick, but we don’t know if he/she gets well; also, the old man never says who he really is or what he is there for. He basically leaves the townspeople and the readers clueless the entire time. In the short story “A Worn Path” by Eudora Welty, it was more of an inspirational piece to me because of her determination to get her grandson throat medicine. She went on a long journey with many different challenges going against her like age, nature, and people. She was very old, which limited her abilities on this journey to get his medicine, also by getting caught in a thorn bush was a sign that even the smallest thing can make you give up. Lastly,

The unfamiliar words were helpful by expanding my knowledge about the story and reassuring that I was on the right track. In “Jury of Her Peers”, the word coroner which means an official who investigates an unnatural death, it reassures us that it was a murder in the story. Also, the word apprehensive which means anxious or fearful that something bad will happen, this tells us that something bad will happen, which it did. On the other hand, in the story “The Bear” by William Faulkner, the term indomitable meaning cannot be dominated which lets us know neither the bear or the man was trying not to be dominant over nature. As well as the term immortality meaning something that never dies, such as life after nature never dies. Overall the vocabulary words didn’t help me understand the passage it was more of the context clues and reading between lines that gave me the purpose of these
