I too old.

Question Five compares "A Worn Path" to a journey and a quest, which made me think of Phoenix as a semi-hero.
She goes on this journey to save her grandson, but I don't really think her grandson is alive. He probably died years ago when Phoenix was making the same journey. She's way too old to be hiking through the forest, which makes her seem even more.. sympathetic? When she finally reaches her destination, the doctor, she gets what she needs.. but when she heads back.. it's awkward almost. We all know that she can't finish her quest-that's why she is a semi-hero. It will be like a never-ending cycle of journeys, well, until she dies, which will probably be soon if she keeps walking through the forest like that.
