The Phoenix
in Greek mythology is a bird-like
creature that matures to an extreme age before it bursts into
flames and is
reborn from the ashes. As it matures and ages, its beauty and colors of red
and
gold intensify. The Phoenix always rises up again with its main
characteristic of
determination. Cleverly, s Phoenix Jackson, thein ,
parallels the mythological bird in
description and actions. She is an
unforgettable character.
Described by the
author as
elderly and small, Phoenix measures her steps carefully as she travels through
the
woods to complete her mission. She carries an umbrella as a cane and to
ward off any creatures
that might be in her path. Her black face is so
wrinkled that it seems to follow a specific
pattern and an undercoating of a
golden color. Dressed in a neat and tidy fashion, her shoes
are untied
because she cannot tie them anymore. This is a woman of subtle grandeur that
few
would look deep enough to see.
Driven...
