"The Jilting of Granny Weatherall," deals with various elements of literature that we have discussed throughout the semester. In this story, a grandmother is on the verge of death and not willing to cope with the fact the she is about to die. Instead, she spends her time trying to tell her children how to live their lives and what their tasks will be for the next day.
