· Does the writer provide an introduction that grabs the reader’s attention?
Yes. I had no idea what the basket was and definitely wanted to find out.
· Does the writer focus on significant events in his or her life rather than trying to narrate his or her entire life’s story?
Yes. The writer tells the story of when he was to take his grandpa to the store and instead they found the jackpot of day old bread items.
· Do the descriptions of the characters or important objects in the memoirs include sensory details that help readers to visualize, hear, smell or feel them?
Yes. I liked the description of his grandpa. It made me think of my grandpa and how funny he can be sometimes.
· Has the writer quoted speech or dialogue so as to reveal some important aspect of a character’s personality?
Yes. The conversations between the writer and his grandpa help give more depth to the story and show the grandpa’s personality.
· Does the writer narrate or describe events in a way that allows readers to connect them to experiences or relationships in their own lives?
Yes. I felt the relationship between him and his grandparents can easily be related to relationships that I have with my grandparents.
· Has the writer explained the significance of the people, events, places, or objects in shaping who he or she has become? Does this explanation make sense in relation to the events, people, places, and things described throughout the memoir?
Yes. The writer tells why the characters in the story are there and talks about going to the grocery store but instead finds the cart full of bread products. He tells why they were looking for the bread and includes dialogue of what nana will do because grandpa is bringing home the bread. I chuckled when I read about finding the cart full of bread.
· Does the writer provide a conclusion that reinforces the point of the story
Yes. The conclusion tells what nana will do and summarizes the story.
