In “A Worn Path” by Eudora Welty, why doesn’t Phoenix answer the nurse’s questions about her grandson at first?

1 answer:

4 0

I would say the correct answer is 2. She has forgotten why she came. This is perhaps the most devastating and intriguing detail in the whole story. Phoenix has embarked on such a long and exhausting journey because she loves her grandson; but then her memory betrays her. Some critics even suggest the possibility that her grandson had died, which caused a trauma for Phoenix.

What does the narrator say about Gatsby in the first few pages?

Monica [59]

Answer:

Nick's bias becomes clear in the earliest pages of the book, when he tells us that “there was something gorgeous about him [Gatsby], some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life.” We are inclined to see Gatsby as a sensitive genius and to side with him in the romantic triangle between Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom.
