A Worn Path

I think Phoenix is a little crazy in this story. She talks to herself the whole way to town, and talks to animals and people who aren’t there. She even sees a little boy offering her cake and he isn’t really there. Most of the things she sees on the path are in her head. I think her grandson died or is old enough and left the house even though she still believes that he lives with her. I am sympathetic towards Phoenix only because I feel sorry for her. She is an old woman who doesn’t have much let in the world and forgets a lot of the time where she is going and where she is supposed to be.
