"A Path Taken, with All the Certainty of Youth" by Margaret Atwood

     This was an interesting piece. The author Margaret Atwood, described in a short essay the time when she felt that she decided to become a writer. It is a sort of peculiar piece, and I was a little confused about the significance of the poem at the end. I did like the subtle humor Atwood used, and how she believes that if she would have been more educated on the status of female writers, she probably would not have become one. I also liked how she used the perspective she has now to reflect on thoughts and actions she took as an adolescent.
