Eudora Welty’s, “A Worn Path” follows the journey of Phoenix Jackson, an old Negro woman who, time and time again, makes the difficult journey through the forest to town. Despite her old age and obvious inabilities, she finds the strength to make the journey through the pinewoods, down through oaks, thorny bushes, and barbed wire.

not called to know, but to memorize the contents narrated by the teacher. Nor do the students practice an act of cognition, since the object towards which that act should be directed is the property of the teacher rather than a medium evoking the critical reflection of both teacher and students.

When I watched the lecture video, I was inspired, and I begin to ask myself if I was a peak performer. The lecture used several definitions to describe the peak performer, and there were several that I found striking.
