    Phoenix Jackson is fearless. Throughout the story she looks does in the eyes numerous times. A good example of this is when the young hunter points his gun at phoenix. For instance”The man came back, and his own dog panted about them. ” Well, I scared him off that time,’ he said, and then he laughed and lifted his gun and pointed it at phoenix. She stood straight and faced him. “Doesn’t the gun scare you?”  He said .still pointing it. “no sir I seen plenty go off closer by, in my day, and for less than what I done,’ she said, holding utterly still” (Eudora Welty, page169). In this example she could have easily been shot because the story takes place in the Deep South around the year of the mid eighteen hundreds. A young white man would not be punished for shooting old black women. Anther good illustration of Phoenix Jackson being fearless is when she. There is a figure in the dark that she cant see, The figure stand still and does make any sound .Phoenix believes it could be a ghost. For example “”Ghost, “she said sharply,” who be you the ghost of? For I have heard of nary death close by.” But there was no answer - only the ragged dancing of the wind. She shut her eyes, reached   out her hand, and touched a sleeve, She found a coat and inside at hat an emptiness, cold as ice” you scarecrow,” she said.” Her face lighted.”(Eudora Welty, page167).  The figure could have been a mass murder or maybe it could have been a ghost. If the figure was a murder she could have easily died, there was no way for her to know what the figure was.  She showed a lot of bravery in confronted the unknown entity. Moreover, Phoenix continues to be courageous when she is faced with a new obstacle.   To continue on with her journey she must cross a creek by walking on a log that lay across the creek. For instance “now the trail, Said Phoenix. Putting her right foot out, she mounted the log and shut her eyes. Lifting her skirt, leveling her cane fiercely before her, like a festival figure in some parade, she began to march across. Then she opened her eyes and she was safe across on the other side” (Eudora Welty, page169). This clear example of Phoenix Jackson bold nature because she could have easily fallen of the log especially because she had her eyes closed. She could have certainly hurt her self falling into the creek, which could have cased numerous reasons to her death. Perhaps she may have been knocked out and drowned in the creek, or broke her leg against a rock.

  • Christmas Time

    Woot !!!! A real weblog post lol. I don't even remember when I actually wrote something on Xanga that had to do anything with my life lol. I fail in the category of writing on xanga on among others, cough... (Most all writing   well I am going to try never the less  . Well to start the day I of I had work at 7pm on Wednesday till 4pm. Work was hard.... mentally and physical. I walked around helping people so much. I never really thought about trying for a 50mile marathon, but now I think I could do it, and lap the field. Well enough complaining about how hard it was, it did make the time fly, that’s for sure... Eventually 4 pm rolled around and I was like Woot!! I Blazed out of work in a hurry, after saying merry Christmas to my fellow co workers of course.  I flew to my car and took off. Right now I am listening to a Cd that Tim got me. The band is called "kasabian" There an English rock band that kicks major, an s / Butt lol. Well I finally arrived at home, and my Dad says perfect timing where just about to leave to my Grandmas house, I was like Woot, now I don't have to drive down there. It would have been a little difficult for me, considering how bad I am with directions, though I am getting better. So we all got ready to leave to go to my Grandmas, Dad, Mom, and Dan, Elizabeth / Dan gf and finally me. I would say the drive took about 30 to 40 mins, not to bad I think. Though it could have been longer I kind aah of, cough (dozed off from extreme exhaustion...I had a of cool dream, but I wont say what the dream was about ,only because it may make some people jealous from its pure awesomeness. Well any ways when I opened my eyes we just about there. My grandmas lives somewhere out in Yerabulinda. I know, I am so good pin point direction (somewhere) lol. Well we all arrived safely to my Grandmas, Woot. We loaded out and got the food, presents and fire wood from the trunk. FYI, my grandma is assume, seriously you could become blinded by her pure awesomeness. You can ask Dan and Elizabeth they were completely captivated by my grandma’s awesomeness, they talked to her half the night. We all had a great time hanging out and laughing. Finally dinner came woooooooooooottttttt, dinnnnnnneeeeerrrr. Christmas equals good food / no duh. Dinner ended up being amazing. Then dessert came, and my uncle broke out a new pie, that none of us have tried before.  He supposedly got the recipe from his friend. He made an apple lemon me rang pie with a crumbly crust bottom, and a gram cracker top. Mouth watering good is all that can say. Well after we had dessert my two nieces one is Lilly, who's is my sister kid. She is 4 years old, and my other niece Seaira which is 1 and sometime years old which is my uncale MIke and Aunt Cherlles kid. Well any ways they wanted to open the present’s so we did. The best part of opening the presents was, when my nice Lilly opend her present and got a really pretty looking backpack. When she said I got a bag Yaaaaa and a bunch of silliness.(OK for some who may read this, prepare to laugh) Here it comes are you ready for it? Seaira points at the bag and says no bag with a sweet little squeaky voice, just like the women in the play some of us watched a while ago. Then Lilly was like there is a bag in the same screechy voice, I was like what the.... Their voices changed out of nowhere. Then Seaira pointed again and said no bag. I almost died laughing and no one there new why, they where all like.... huh... But it gets even better, after that my niece Seaira grabs the bag, and my other niece points and the bag and says no bag. At this point I was on the ground trying to find room in my body to breathe, but all I could find was laughter. I would say that had to be my highlight of the night. Well after we all open our presents and such we all language around  and talked till about 9-10ish.During that  time we lounged around while we all got smoked out in my grandma’s house, her chimney needed a good sweeping so the smoke was not making it all the way out. Evently everyone got ready to leave, well at least from our group and some others. We took off and had a nice ride home, during the ride Dan and Elizabeth fell asleep, and their heads where hanging out word as if there where linched or somthing, it was a little funny. We got back and talked for a bit, then Dan , Elizabeth and me watched one episode of "Golden boy" it’s a carton that is about a guy who finishes college and takes off to study the world. IN the mean while during his journey you get to listen to all of his though about the world, people ,and women. Seriously if every woman watches this Anime, they would know exactly how men think. That was about most of the night, but not to long after words, I fell asleep. Well tired to, I smelled like smoke from my grandma’s house, so it was a little hard to breath.  Christmas day has come, Woot. I woke up and came out to say hi to my parents. I guess my dad was up for a bit, getting breakfast ready for us all, because my sister and her fiancé where coming over for breakfast. Well I went back in to my room to get the presents I got my Mom and Dad. I got my mom a book, called "The Gate House" by Nelson De Mile. She was happy because she like that author and not read his new book yet. Woot I am good. After words my Dad opened his presents, he though I got him a pair of shoes, but to his surprise and great pleasure I did not. I got him a work out tool called “The perfect push up" he has been wanting this work out tool for a long time. He was really happy. A little later my Sis, Chris/fiancé and my niece Lilly came over for us all to eat breakfast.Breakfast was good; we had bacon and waffles lol. We talked while eating and watching "Finding Nemo". I have not watched that movie for a long time, ( just keep on swimming ,just keep on swimming , just keep on swimming , just keep on swimming ) lol..  After word we all got ready and headed toward my grandpas house in Walnut.  The drive over there was kinda of a bummer, since we had to drive through the rain...yicks. Not sure why but driving in the rain makes me feel uneasy. Well in any case we all arrived at my grandpas, in his nice huge, gigantic, house. It was a lot of fun, we sat around a fire watched Lilly open her presents and talked about life, etc. We were going to do songs, since my grandma Gail knows how to play the piano. But that really did not happen it was a little bit of a bummer. After are our hellos and how are you, we said good bye. While we are about to leave, I got in my sisters car and locked the door. She tried to open it but I was holding the switch down lol. Eventually I unlocked it, but she pressed the button on her keys right after and locked again then tried to open the door. She failed, and I was laughing hysterically.  I can be evil some time (muahahh). After that we went back to my parent’s house to have a Christmas dinner. While waiting for the dinner to be ready my sis and Chris gathered in my room. WE watched the new Christmas special from Jeff Dunham. The special was pretty funny. Afterwards we headed in to the livening room where my parents where. They had put in the movie "Leo Low and Stitch" for Lilly. I love that movie, stitch is great. About half way into the movie my little niece Lilly started to get (ooo nooooos). Unfortunately that cut my sis visit and they had to leave before we could eat dinner. I hope Lilly gets better soon! Well my parents and I go together and picked a movie to watch, though at this point I was movie out , but this is what my parents do for fun , so I said ok what do you want to watch. With the happiest expression I could muster. But when I went to go see what they has chosen to watch, they had chosen nothing. They got hocked to the new TV series episode of “House” House is fun TV show to watch. So that’s what we watched.  After words they got tired and went to their room, to get ready for bed, they are old fudddy duddies so they go to bed early. Christmas was good( Woooot Christmas).
