Rating: 4: Grandma is a heartwarming book that goes through a change that children might experience as well. I enjoyed this book because Shepherd went about the transformation in a comforting way. Grandma’s story should be shared with children so that they can understand that family changes are bound to happen‚ and that everything will be okay. Annotation: Oscar has the best Grandma in the world and loves her very much. They play‚ laugh‚ and always have fun when they are together. When Grandma gets a

When writing‚ diction‚ syntax and imagery all show the author’s style. In the text “Dinner Dandruff”‚ Robert Fulghum does an excellent job of showing all three of these. The words he chooses to use‚ the way he uses them in sentences‚ and the visual effect he creates through his writing shows the reader he is a humorous author.
