Question

In a worn pathDefend the idea that the grandson is dead. Use a claim, two evidence, and four commentary.

Answer 1

We can conclude that the grandson is dead because he is completely absent from the story, because of the grandmother's certainty that the medicine will not help him and because he has swallowed a very toxic substance.

How could the grandson have died?

• The grandson swallowed powdered caustic soda.
• This left him highly intoxicated and his health was extremely fragile.
• Grandmother doesn't have enough resources to take care of him, but she goes out in search of a remedy.
• Upon arriving at the pharmacy, she tells him what happened and although she gets a medicine she is sure that it won't help the boy.

This grandmother's certainty may be the main evidence that the boy died, but one of the themes of the story is the resilience and strength of black people in overcoming deadly challenges which give the reader hope that the boy is alive.
