Are you sympathetic towards Phoenix, or any other characters?
I am very sympathetic towards Phoenix because she is in no mental or physical condition to be making this trip by foot. However, she is fulfilling her duty as a caretaker to her grandson to walk all the way to town to get him medicine for his throat.
What's the effect of having an outside narrator?
By having an outside narrator opposed to having Phoenix narrate, the audience doesn't always know what is going through Phoenix's mind. She is basically crazy and without her verbalizing her thoughts it is hard for us to understand why she is behaving in certain ways and more importantly why she is going on this trip (which we later find out is for her grandson).
