A Worn Path by Eudora Welty

This story seems like a movie that I have seen before. It's about an very old elderly woman who tries to save her grandson by looking for medicines through a dangerous forest. She is the main character in the story and she is a very strong character by having strong will power and nothing seems to stop her from crossing her path. She was able to overcome obstacles no matter what tries to stop her. Her name is Phoenix Jackson and her name fits her properly. She is a realistic character to me because I have seen someone strong like her and admire her strong will power. People with strong will power are the ones that succeed in life and overcome obstacles. Even though I read the story twice, I really enjoyed reading stories where protagonist succeeds at the end which Phoenix did bring her grandson the medicine but question was if her grandson was able to live on.

This is much better. You analyzed Phoenix's character well. There's still a bit too much plot summary at the beginning though.
