Реферат: Conflict In Eudora Welty

not ashamed to ask for the extra pocket change so that she could buy her

grandson a windmill made out of paper. That nickel was the second nickel

that she had managed to obtain. The first five cents was basically

obtained through theft. She distracted a hunter she had met in the

forest so that she could pick up a nickel that he had dropped. Phoenix

had no reason to be ashamed of the ten cents that she had acquired

through begging and stealing. Her perspective was that society had no

respect for her, so why should she have respect for society?

In conclusion, poverty was probably the main conflict out of all the

other four mentioned. Had she not been poor, she would have been able to

afford proper care for herself and her grandson and would therefore be

living a higher standard of life. Had she not been poor, she could have

paid for a cab ride to the city or she could have paid for delivery of

the medicine. She would not have had to beg for meaningless nickels.

Without money society doesn?t care for you and has therefore no respect

for you no matter how old you might be.
