This story was a very strange story and I really didnt see a point to it. It is about an old lady who walks a very long way to get some medicine for her grandson who is sick at home. On the way to the city she runs into a white hunter who points a gun at her but when he sees no fear in her he just leaves but not before she takes 25 cents from him after they fell out of his pocket. Then once she gets to the city she asks a white lady to tie her shoes for her and the lady does tie her shoes. Then when she finally gets to the clinic to get the medicine she forgets what she went there for and the first lady she talks to keeps asking her what she wants. Then another nurse comes out and tells her what she was there for and then Phoenix remembers her grandson and it just ends with her walking back home. I didnt really see a point to this story. In class we discussed racism but noone really shows that except for the white hunter and it wasnt even that bad. The only thought I had about this story was that maybe the grandson was already dead, apart from that the story wasnt great.
