Very realistic as towards her quest to find medicine for her ill grandson. I can't help but grasp the reality and image this short story has on me. On how its setting is on the great depression, illustrates her struggle and how she doesn't want to stop till she finds the cure he needs to get well.
I love how she doesn't quit and it reminds me of many single mothers who have two jobs and still have time for their children. I guess her struggles remind me of single mothers for todays age. The poverty in this nation is increasing; a clear fact and in my view, a connection that this story and the main character has with todays struggling Americans.

Yes, the story can certainly relate in a nmuber of ways to, esp., what the elderly go through, what they have to hold on to in life, and what keeps them going; it's also interesting to note how the particular socio-economic circumstances and cultural background of the protagonist comes through in the way Phoenix describes, or fabricates, her journey, as well as narrator's comments and the description of the character.
