WRITTEN BY: Danine Mosley Instructor: Karen Risely Date: 7/15/13 During this paper I will be reflecting on the main character as she is taking a journey. I will be letting you know things and people that she encountered throughout this path that she has taken and what is the meaning for this. I will also be looking into her past since this story is told by another person and not the main character we will see what the narrators has to give us about his person and they live. Since the main short story that I have focused on was throughout this week with my discussion is A Worn Path I thought I might as well finish off with it in my assignment. The theme of this short story is about a old negro women by the name of Phoenix Jonson. The narrator states this in the first paragraph o the story and all throughout this story we go on a journey with Phoenix and we visit may different lands and read about all the people and things that she come across throughout the story.
The further along we get into this story the more you think that she is a slave that is running for her freedom the way the young man first started out talking to her. Then just when you think that you got the story all figured out come to find out she was walking to get her grandsons medicine for him because he was very ill. This is a trip that she takes every week on her own You can that she isn't the person that is telling the story because they say she or uses the woman named instead of saying I or me to describe herself.

With each encounter that she has with the people that she comes across there is always
