From the Paper:

"Both John Steinbeck and Eudora Welty were prominent American writers during the twentieth century. Both authors were well known for their insightful portrayal of the "common" strata of society, as well as for the semi-autobiographical nature of some of their work. Who could fail to catch glimpses of Steinbeck in Jody Tiflin of "The Red Pony", or of Welty in any number of her short stories. To better illustrate the styles of these two authors, this essay concentrates on elements of Steinbeck's "The Red Pony" and of Welty's "The Golden Apples". Although "The Red Pony" is most often considered to be a novel, both of these works are similar in structure, consisting of interlocking short stories with elements of novels."
