· I was grabbed by the introduction. It was fairly short with not a lot of detail but the phrase “no way out of it” that the writer used is what kept me interested.
· I liked how the writer focused her attention talking about her Pop Pop than she did herself. She still based her story specifically on trips to the grocery store with her Pop Pop.
· There was very good sensory details given. I was able to catch on and see each characters personality. It was clear that their Pop Pop was a very self-minded, heard headed type of guy. While his wife, Nana, was stricter and didn’t put up with a lot of Pop Pop’s gestures.
· The writer incorporated great dialogue. It made readers feel like they were along for the ride experiencing all the different excitements Pop Pop brought to the table for his family.
· I thought the writer’s placement of events made the story itself flow good. It kept the story interesting by talking about small simple errands and then leading up to the big dreading errand that the whole family tried to get out of. I was able to connect with the writer because my grandpa himself was always hard headed, loved to joke around and be a smartass.
· The writer gave readers great details to use to be able to know the types of relationships the writer had with her grandparents and the errands that were ran on a daily/weekly basis.
· The story was concluded with the way her and Pop Pops grocery errand ended. It pulled all the parts together and fully brought out Pop Pops personality. Without the dialogue that was used, I don’t think readers would’ve been able to visualize Pop Pop and his stubborn, risky personality and it wouldn’t have been as interesting.
