The worn path

Where was the venerable woman traveling to and why? Shes traveling the worn path to go and get her grandson some medicine. Shes been doing this for 3 years since he swallowed lye and burn down his throat. 2. What were some of the obstacles encountered by the old woman? She struggles intense fatigue and poor eyesight, as well as such obstacles as thorn bushes and barbed wire.She runs into a white hunter who drops a nickel and she picks it up and he points his gun t her but since she appeared not afraid he lowered it. 3. Why did the hunter point his gun at Phoenix? Was she in danger? Because she picked up the nickel he dropped but its still really unclear of his motive as to why he pointed his gun at her. Shes in danger because shes an elderly woman a who has bad eyesight and has a gun pointed at her. 4.Phoenix says that she is an old woman without education, does she meme to have any knowledge that the other characters lack? Although she did not go to school and isnt book smart at a ll, I do count she knows a bargain about life and hard it can become sometimes. She seems to be like an old person you know very wise, has a lot of wisdom. 5. What happens to Phoenix when she gets home? Well then story doesnt tell you what happens when she gets home. But I assume she started her long walk back to her grandson and gave him his medicine.
