Introduction

In “Note 29” by Sherwood Anderson and “Walking Distance” by Debra Allbery, they both share a similar outlook on the nature of work. Work alone is often thought of as physical labor, which is done to get money and put food on the table. When people have jobs, it’s usually meant to fulfill their needs to live comfortably and also enjoy what they’re doing everyday for a career. The nature of work will have diverse effects on each individual, because not everyone is interested in the same specific qualities.
