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 Two: In Which Grandpa Explains His Impending Nuptials and All Hell Breaks Loose

So, basically, Grandpa Blakeslee says that he's marrying Miss Love (you know, Yankee, half his age, etc., etc., etc.) so he won't be a burden on the family,  so he has someone to take care of him, like Granny Blakeslee used to. Very considerate of him, don't you agree? Well, Will's mother and Aunt Loma certainly beg to differ, as expressed in the two and a half pages of complaints and comments to each other about this new development ending with momma realizing Will is still there, and ordering him to go fetch the eggs.
