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.

Chapter 3: In Which We Learn That Grandpa's Wedding . . . Is TODAY

 So, chapter three. It starts off with Will, our narrator, wondering why this marriage between Grandpa and Miss Love is such a big deal. He is also a bit upset at the fact that being in mourning for his grandma's death has prevented him from taking part in some really fun things, like a ride in an automobile, as well as simple things, like fishing, or comics! I mean, Granny wouldn't have wanted that for him, right?

Finally, Will's dad comes home with the news that Grandpa and Miss Love have just left to get married! Mama and Papa discuss the situation, and Will, listening in on their discussion, finds himself thinking about society, class, and a small flashback informing us of Loma's dreams of becoming an actress.
