The mythical creature, The Phoenix, is able to rejuvenate, to rise again from ash and decay, and to continue on past what logically it should. These features make the creature relatable to the character of Phoenix Jackson. She is older, starting to lose her mind and her physical abilities. Yet, despite the fact that she should not able to make this trip to town on her own still, she is able to push on and persevere. When she gets to town, her mental limitations begin once again taking over, and she momentarily forgets why she has come. Just like the phoenix, she rises from this lapse once again with renewed strength, showing that her love and concern for her grandson is stronger than the grasp of age and time.
