Summary-Eudora Welty
Summary
In her book “One Writer’s Beginnings”, from page 3 to page 20, Eudora Welty explains to us how her childhood and parents’ personalities influenced, shaped her writing style.
At the beginning Eudora told us that she grew up in a house which is full of sorts of clocks. “We grew up to the striking of clocks” (Welty, page 3). She obtained a strong sense of time under this circumstance. “But we all of us have been time-minded all our lives” (Welty, page3). For a future fiction writer, this childhood experience made her to learn chronology penetratingly; put chronology at the first place of her novels. “This was good at least for a future fiction writer, being able to learn so penetratingly, and first of all, about chronology” (Welty, page 4).
Eudora showed us that her father also influenced her writing in the future. She explained it by telling and showing us that her father, Christian Welty, who is creative, loves fascinating instruments, overreacts to lightning storm, and he is full of eventualities. “My father loved all instruments that would instruct fascinate” (Welty, page 4). “He had an almost childlike love of ingenious” (Welty, page 4). “Eventualities were much on his mind” (Welty, page 4). “Drew us away from the window during electrical storm” (Welty, page 4). By receiving the influence of her father, Eudora became sensitive to weather. In the future as being a writer, atmosphere took influential part in her stories. “So I developed a strong meteorological sensibility. In years ahead when I wrote stories, atmosphere took its influential role from the start” (Welty, page 4). Beside all those, Christian Welty also gave many toys to his children. Those toys, specially the train, are instructive and representing his fondest beliefs to his children. “All of this, specially the train, represents my father’s fondest belief-in progress, in the future” (Welty, page 4).
Eudora’s mother, Chestina Welty, gave her a very important gift—she
