Richards essay

i really did enjoy this essay. and im not just saying that because the author's coming in to class. it was easy to read and relatable.

i think that this essay is mostly narration and description. the part about her grandparents going fishing on page 6 was almost all narration, which makes sense seeing as she's telling a story. i think the narration was used well. it didnt take much description at all for me to understand the emotions she was going through. she didnt have to tell me what they were because it is just understood. the frustration at the desease taking her grandmother and the sudden onsets of saddness from the death they've seen.

im not sure by the end i fully understood what the purpose of the talk about the great-grandmother's house was. i liked it at the beginning, but what was the significance there that im missing?
