A worn Path

I like how this story is so symbolic. In class we learned all the symbols it portrays and a few were the connection of slavery and every day life. I think the title of the book is a major point. I don't think it is called a worn path because phoenix takes the path consecutively but because the path has so many connection to events and situations that phoenix is linked too. It talks about how she feels chains on her feet and she feels like the path does not want her to contines this is symbolizing slavery and how she felt so tied down and how it seemed like she would never go anywhere. She also talks about closing her eyes to cross a log. This can be related to blind faith and how we sometimes just have to hope for the best not knowing the outcome. The story gave a great imagery of a woman walking on a path and being able to connect it with certain refrences. I liked how it was understanding.
