PLEASE HELP QUICK!! In “A Worn Path,” why did Welty call her main character Phoenix?

English
1 answer:
Tresset [83]3 years ago
5 0

There is no question that Welty knew what she was doing when she chose to name the main character of “A Worn Path” Phoenix Jackson. A Phoenix is a mythological creature that lives for five centuries before burning to ashes. After burning, the creature rises back to life as a young bird from these ashes and the cycle repeats itself without end. That Phoenix shares a name with such a creature reflects her indefatigable nature, her constant striving towards her goal, as well as her unflagging optimism and high spirits. The name also suggests Phoenix’s longevity: though the story takes place in 1941, she was already too old in 1865 to go to school. Like a phoenix, too, she makes her journey again and again without failure. Finally, the phoenix was also seen as a symbol for Christ, who was also resurrected. And so Phoenix’s name also marks her as a Christ figure in the story.

In what lines oh The Lady of Shalot does the poet reveal,the monotony of the lady's existance
Greeley [361]
The lines that descibe the monotony are the following ones:
1.No time hath she to sport and play:(she can't do anything else)
3.She weaveth steadily,Therefore no other care hath she,-she is weaving all the time and does not think about anything else
4.She lives with little joy or fear-she doesn't experience the emotions
5.The sheep bell tinkles in her ear- I think this one also describes the monotony: it compares her monotonous life to that of a sheep

Love is like the wild rose-briar, Friendship is like the holly-tree— The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms But which will
Finger [1]

Answer:

These supporting details reveal the speaker of the poem thinks friendship is more constant than love.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are studying here was taken from Emily Bronte's "Love and Friendship". In this poem, the speaker compares love to a wild-briar, while friendship is likened to a holly-tree. Love, like the rose-briar, is intense. Its scent fills the air, and it blooms beautifully, but as soon as winter comes, it perishes. Winter is a metaphor for difficulties. In the speaker's opinion, love does not survive hardship. On the other hand, like a holly-tree, friendship lasts. It may not be as attractive as a rose-briar, but it is constant, and does not die during winter. Friendship is, therefore, more constant than love, and that is the main idea of the poem.
