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 6-8: The Sad Passing of Will's Granny and Grandpa's Beautiful Tribute to Her

 Chapters Six and Seven are pretty simple to summarize. In Six, Will describes Granny when she's sick, and tells about how she was really sick, and then seemed to be making a recovery. However, in Chapter Seven, Granny starts hallucinating, and dies after a few days.

Chapter Eight is one big flashback. Will and Grandpa make rose blankets for Granny's coffin, Will describes the funeral preparations and the procession, and Will and Grandpa talk about the reality and the wisdom of life and death and about roses and Granny, and then go home for a good night's sleep.
