A grandmother is the mother of one’s father or mother. They are one of the most influential people in the families. These are the people who have all the funny and most adventurous stories to tell, especially from when they were growing up. Living in the past is what is being focused on because of these two grandmothers that are different in color, race and ethnicity. Although the grandmothers in both stories are completely different, they also have some similarities in their stories when comparing them. <\/p>\n
In the short story \u201cA Good Man is Hard to Find\u201d, the grandmother did not specifically have a name as the others did. In the beginning of the story, O\u2019Connor started off by saying, \u201cTHE GRANDMOTHER didn\u2019t want to go to Florida\u201d (138). By her doing that shows symbolism that the grandmother is not really an important person to the others. By reading, it is easy to tell that \u201cthe grandmother\u201d is a white female who is up in age \u201colder\u201d. \u201cShe stood there with one hand on her thin hip\u201d, this helps because older people\u2019s bodies are thinner than younger people (O\u2019Connor 138). Also, when O\u2019Connor said, \u201cThe old lady settled herself comfortably\u201d, with \u201cThe Grandmother\u201d being described in the way that she is, it is pointing to the fact that she is an older lady. Now, in the short story \u201cA Worn Path\u201d, Phoenix Jackson was automatically pointed out as being an old woman by Welty saying, \u201cShe was very old and small and she walked slowly in the dark pine shadows, moving little from side to side in her steps\u201d (Welty 1). Not only that, Phoenix being a negro woman was stated as well. When wearing clothing with older people, they tend to want to cover up as much as possible. In the story, Phoenix wore, \u201cA dark striped dress reaching down to her shoe tops, and an equally long apron of bleached sugar sacks\u201d, which is typical for the dress code back in that time period (1). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
