December Exam, essay question 1: One Writer's Beginnings by Eudora Welty. The quote is a concise introduction that sets up the essay naturally, "making it easier". "Many writers take inspiration for their writing from the people and the experiences of their life; Eudora Welty, as demonstrated in her autobiography //One Writer's Beginnings//, is no exception. Using anecdotal evidence from an "impressionable" time of her youth, Welty juxtaposes the positive influence of her mother, with the negative one of a librarian, Mrs. Calloway, to not only convey why she loved books, but also how much she was willing to do to read them."
