At the start of the essay “Writing and Analyzing a Story”, Eudora Welty discusses the relationship an author has with their book. “I never saw…that a finished story stood in need of any more from the author: for better or worse, there the story is.” I, for one, would love to know the author’s original thoughts and intentions for their novel. Understandingly, some would rather write a story, publish it and hear nothing more than compliments about their piece. I do not believe that authors owe any more than they are willing to give; the quote by John Green, “Books belong to their readers.” came to mind while reading this essay. There is only one possible outcome of a book for the reader because the end has already been written, where there are thousands upon thousands of possibilities for the writer who “…works into the open.” So the reader may do what they please with the unchanging publication, but the writer will always have a different interpretation full of other possibilities that the reader cannot even fathom. A reader might completely miss what the author was going for in their novel but take something else away from it, I may not interpret this essay in the same way my classmates have. This is okay and encouraged because an author publishes a work for the fulfillment of him/herself and the enjoyment of others. Another topic Welty brought up in the beginning of her essay was “…the question of whether or not the author could provide the sort of analysis asked for.” Welty later walks the reader through a short story she had to reimagine after a life experience of hers. When authors are still in charge of their stories they are constantly changing and flowing, the outcome may not resemble the original outline at all. As soon as an author is finished with the story they wanted to tell it becomes permanent. Regardless of what a reader may want or believe should have happened, there is only one end result and readers may take what they want away from their reading. The thoughts an author has on something they created will have a much larger and more complicated backstory than the curious reader thinks. It is like asking a parent why they think their child has turned out the way they have. Clearly the parent will (ideally) know more about their own child than an acquaintance will, they have the entire life of the child to formulate a response, much like an author and their book. A reader can read a book and form an opinion based on the completed work, much like a stranger can only see where a person is now, not how they got there. An author has the evolution of their thoughts and viewpoints to draw on in an analysis of the entire concept of a novel, something much different from the product that the reader has. The concept of books belonging to their readers is more applicable here than anywhere else simply because the author will not be able to give the readers a comprehensive analysis on a largely different experience they have had. The book the reader was introduced to is not the same one the author knows, therefore an authors opinion on their own work is of no use to the readers.

When I write a story it ushally comes from motive, pasion, and lots of thought. "Writing and Analyzing a story" is a complete thought process, from Eudora Welty, on how she writes and views writing styles. "Each story, it seems to me, thrives in the course of being written only as long as it seems to have a life of its own." When I read this quote it really made me think, Why would a story not work without a life of its own? In my mind im thinking, Welty must be a book enthusiast, that can immagine all descriptions the writer is describing. Its truely hard for me to thrive in any books set environment as a reader, so books with a story just don't have the same life for me that the writer intended. Welty decribes in the second half of her essay, how a small trip changed alot of her ideas in her writing, assisting her to make her writing better. " The start is the jumping off place" I found this the most connectable description on how she described starting a story. Its one big step you have to take in the beginning of every writing that makes your story catch the reader as they jump into your story. Weltys opinion on critical analysis which was a bully like view that picks up the story and picks on it, made me think that, if a critical analysis were to be made of this response, it would shake out all the fluff and stuff, keeping the facts together about the essay, leaving you with a bland quote and some descriptions of what was read. Unfortunally thats how I write, and every writer has their own flair that makes thier writings different from someone else.

"Since analysis has to travel backward, the path it goes is an ever-narrowing one, whose goal is the vanishing point, beyond which only "influences" lie. But the writer of the story, bound in the opposite direction, works into the open." Eudora Welty enlightens the reader to the difference between the analysis and writing of a story. Traveling backwards is a metaphor used to explain the analysis of a story. It is much difficult to walk backward than forward and one is bound to a series of mistakes. There is no curiosity when one analyzes a story because they are walking to the end of a tunnel which was the author's beginning. Telling the story is, to some degree, a vision; it slowly unravels its content to the reader who once saw the story through a peephole. The author uses much figurative language as she makes her comparison. She also states that once a story is published, one can no longer make a change to it. This can be compared to the baking of a cake. In the process of preparation, one can add whatever pleases them, but once the cake has been baked you can't change its flavor from vanilla to chocolate. Critically analyzing the story wouldn't make the story change itself; it's completed. Every writer has their own pattern or melody when they write. They all have one goal – to speak to emotions eternally the same in us all. A critic may be right about a story but won't change the head or tail of the story. The story is being created by the author himself and no matter the misplacements and complications, the story is what it is. Is it better to create a story or to analyze it? I personally find it better to create a story, it allows the reader to see through the author's eyes and know what they think. Critically analyzing the story is, in a sense, looking into someone's soul and pointing out every flaw. "…the method of critical analysis which would pick the story up by its heels to examine the writing process as analysis in reverse, as though a story-or any system of feeling-could be more accessible to understanding for being hung upside down." In John Greens book, 'The Fault In Our Stars', the main character flies all the way to Amsterdam to find out how why her favorite book ended mid-sentence. As upset as she was at the author for being of great vexation, there was just nothing she could do. The book ended just the way the author planned, and nothing we do can change it.
