There were three issues that Phoenix had to deal with in her old age: her health, the health of her grandson, and her financial situation. There can be only one conclusion drawn from her repeated tapping on the ground before her — that she is vision impaired. Phoenix also had senility, a common ailment among the elderly. Phoenix’s decision to finish up with 10 cents was wise since she loses hope when she meets a challenge but gains it after overcoming it. It fits the main character because she is like a phoenix with a burning nest.
There have been a lot of controversies as to whether the grandchild died, however, credible studies have attested to it. Only one medical facility in the city carries the drug that could have saved her grandchild. His situation was true, and it contributed to the story’s certainty, which is the account of an adoration mission finished. It would not matter if the child had died; the fact would live on in the “wornness” of the road. For Phoenix, the trip was not a waste of time because the many difficulties she encountered along the way represent the path she is on in life. Phoenix, for example, uses this well-worn route regularly to purchase medicine for her grandson. Her dementia prevents her from realizing that her grandchild has passed away.
