Choose one story from this unit and explain how its themes and the behavior of its characters prove William Faulkner's assertion that great writing must deal with certain "universal truths" as well as "the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself." Incorporate specific examples and details from the text whenever possible.

Universal truths in “A worn Path by Eudora Welty  are: 
love 
honor 
pity 
pride 
compassion 
sacrifice 

 

Phoenix Jackson (the grandmother) has a lot of love to her grandson. She has a lot of devotion to the extent that she is willing to walk all the way through town for him frequently-- so much, that made the path worn. Considering that she is old enough, it is a sacrifice for her. Compassion is there. She’s old enough to cause a risk to her old body. She does this more often for her grandson but he seemed not in need of medicine.

If you have read the story then, you can tell that she is a woman who has to be honored and has a big heart.
