Courageous and Heroic Wo workforce in A wasted Path, The Bean Trees, Little Women, How It Feels To Be Colored Me, and the The mild Women gain been august and courageous throughout hi floor, though not all told of these doughty (or courageous) adventures have been shown in any way. Some of womens wonderful and courageous adventures ar portrayed through short stories, obliges, and movies. Eudora Weltys short story A worn down Path, Barbara Kingsolvers book The Bean Trees, Louisa May Alcotts book Little Women, Zora Neale Hurstons story How It Feels To Be Colored Me, and the movie The Piano all show women going through their own amazing and heroic adventures. In these stories, the authors and director shargon with the reader (and watcher) the heroics of a woman. Though these heroic adventures are full of risk and danger they are very valuable adventures for the characters health and development. In A Worn Path the character phoenix Jackson walks through the forest on her w ay to town to fail her grandson some medicine. Now, phoenix is an elderly lady, so this trip takes her awhile. She has to go up and down hills, through thorny thickets, and over streams on logs. Throughout the story she talks to herself and encourages herself to go on. She talks to the brushes and the animals that she hears and tells them to keep out of my way all you foxes, owls, beetles, jack rabbits, coons and wild animals Keep from under these feet (Gilbert and Gubar 1641). This trip shows how heroic Phoenix is, for its pretty risky for her to take. It might not be as risky for a younger person, but its hard for an fourth-year woman to go through barbed-wire fences, over logs, and through ditches. She could get caught or hurt on any of the obstacl... ...es where he gets to do more with her than she wants, identical touching her, taking off some of her clothes, and eventually sleeping with her. all of these women show their courage in some way or another, whether that cou rage is of the heart, mind, or body. Women have had heroic and courageous qualities throughout history, but these women are some very good examples of how some women have the nerve and courageousness to do and think what they feel is right no matter what men or other women think of them.
