Out of the three short stories that I read, I think "A Worn Path" by Eudora Welty is the most reliable. I think the idea of the worn path that she knew so well is something I could look at more closely to see if I can catch anything different or a deeper meaning. I also think I could interpret the idea of some stereotyping remarks that were inflicted on Phoenix. Such as being called granny and grandma throughout the story. Were these comments meant to hurt, or meant to show respect?
Another story I read was "Araby" by James Joyce. This story comes in second in my reliability. It could be useful in the idea of this powerful love that this boy felt for this girl who he barley knew. However, it doesn't have a lot of things that I could interpret to match a thesis that I would make. The only evidence that I could take would be the little signs of affection that he showed every now and then, but beyond that I feel like I would just be stating facts.
The last story that I read was "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty. This story would be my last choice for my literary analysis. It is just too vague and doesn't have any deep meanings that I could pull from it. It is so short and frankly I didn't find any importance or significance that stood out to me in the story. I would rather use a short story that I can dig into to write an analysis on.
