A Worn Path

I like how this story symbolizes so many things throughout the story. I think the title sticks out in that it is a symbol itself. I believe it symbolizes phoenix’s life in general. How she is getting old and she doesn’t want to do much of anything. She brings up how she feels chains around her feet, which symbolizes slavery in that time period. This story was really easy to connect what she said to what it actually meant. It described a woman how was aging fast, walking down a path who supposedly had nothing going for her anymore. I really like this story for what it stood for and it being easily understood.
