<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The story "A Worn Path" by Eudora Welty is about Phoenix Jackson, an old African American woman who lives in the south with her grandson. She needs to make the long trek into town to get medicine for her grandson.
Eudora Alice Welty is an American short story writer and novelist. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1973.
Phoenix speaks this during her first speech:
<em>Out of my way, all you foxes, owls, beetles, jack rabbits, coons and wild animals! ... Keep out from under these feet, little bob-whites ... Keep the big wild hogs out of my path. Don't let none of those come running my direction. I got a long way.</em>
Most of these sentences are imperative sentences. An imperative sentence is sentence type that gives instructions, advice, expresses a command, an order, a direction etc. For example: <em>.. Keep out from..., Keep the big...., Don't let none of those come...</em>
In the quotations above, Phoenix also uses vague, speculative language like “Something” and “Seem like.”
<em>“Seem like there is chains about my feet, time I get this far,”</em>
<em>“Something always take a hold of me on this hill - pleads I should stay.” </em>
It also implies that Phoenix is uncertain to some of her statement
