This is my Literature Alive English Language Arts Project. I will be summarizing each chapter and explaining similes, personification, metaphors, idioms and the humor in my book, Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns. I will also be turning in a paper about the author's craft--her biases, beliefs, and intentions.

Chapters 46-47: In Which Lightfoot Gets Married and Grandpa Gets Bested

Chapters 46-47:

Will turns fifteen, and on his way to the store one day, he runs into Lightfoot. She tells him that she does not want him to feel bad about the kissing because she knew Will just wanted to comfort her. She gives him a buckeye and tells him that she is marrying Hosie, because Grandpa has given Hosie a chance at a new life. Will says it almost killed him for Lightfoot to marry Hosie.

In the next chapter, a couple of thieves try to rob the store, but Grandpa gets them at gunpoint. They trick him into firing the gun which they know has only one shot. Then they jump him and crash a chair over his head.
