Don T Call Me Grandma Analysis

Decent Essays
Don’t call me grandma was an excellent book because I can relate to the book.
My grandma acts just like Great Grandmother Nell at times. She enjoys going to the beach and wearing her bathing suit. She also grew up during the civil rights movement.
She can be mean at times but I know she loves me. She is fierce, elegant and a bit scary, just like Great Grandmother Nell.
