In "A Worn Path," Phoenix Jackson ultimately shows herself to be someone whose actions are all done out of _____.
A. selfishness and bitterness over her predicament
B. confidence and faith in medicine
C. dedication and love to her grandson
D. confusion and anger about illness
The answer is letter "C" dedication and love to her grandson. The story is very sad, it is about an old woman who travels looking for some medicine to give to her sick son. These shows sacrifices, dedication and unconditional love of a grandmother to her the boy.
Driven by one reason - her young grandson gulped lye and harmed his throat. Medication keeps him alive; this is the reason that Phoenix issues forward on this chilly December morning to walk right to Natchez—he needs his prescription. Phoenix does not realize how old she is, and she never went to school. Her insight is sound judgment, and it originates from her heart.
