Phoenix is a very old woman whose aged, fragile body isn't suited to make such a long journey. At one point when she is climbing up a hill, she states that it seems like "there is chains about my feet, time I get this far." And yet she still trudges onward, stopping only once for a short break. On the way down the hill she gets caught in a bush, its thorns tearing at her finest dress. "I in a thorny bush," she exclaims. But she doesn't give up; she stands there untangling herself from the bush, "her fingers busy and intent." After she has overcome this obstacle she faces yet another trial. Across Phoenix's path lies a creek and across the creek lies a log, which substitutes as a bridge. It is hard enough for Phoenix to walk on flat and stable ground, so walking across the log is a dangerous challenge for her. Even though there is a large threat of her falling and badly hurting herself, "she mounted the log and shut her eyes" and crosses to the other side. Next she comes across a barbwire fence, and once again without showing any signs of fear she fords ahea!

While showing how brave and unselfish she was, she also showed that she was fragile and not as strong as she used to be. “A black dog with a lolling tongue came up out of the weeds by the ditch. She was meditating, and not ready, and when he came at her she only hit him a little with her cane. Over she went in the ditch, like a little puff of milkweed.” Even though she hit the dog only a little, it caused her to fall into a ditch. At last there came a flicker and then a flame of comprehension across her face, and she spoke. "My grandson. It was my memory had left me. There I sat and forgot why I made my long trip." This shows how her mind went blank, causing her to forget why she had made the journey.

The movie Shrek is a 3D animated adventure involving the protagonist by the same name and his sidekick, Donkey, as they embark on a journey to save a princess from her castle for Lord Farquaad. On the outside, Shrek is a mean and scary ogre, but underneath his “onion-like” personality lies a sad, lonely soul. Shrek is not a typical, Disneyesque fairytale; it is a fairytale that parodies every “once upon a time” and “happily ever after”. By making an ogre the main character, the film breaks the typically boring, fairytale pattern. As said in the movie Shrek, “sometimes things are not always what they appear to be”. One of the recurring themes in the movie is the idea that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, challenging people’s tendencies toward bias.
