The Worn Path

The grandmother seems not well to me, like she has some sort of disease that comes with old age such as Alzheimer disease or something along those lines. I cant tell if her memory and mind really fail her or if all along she was just pretending in order to get the money to buy her grandson the paper windmill. She seems like she is a smart woman who knows how to get what she wants when she wants from who she wants. The imagery is so precise in the story that you could almost see Phoenix as if she is in real life standing right in front of you.
