My favorite character in my memoir so far “ I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” is probably Maya’s grandmother(or momma) is because is a kind and caring person and she treats Maya and her brother like her own children even though she is their grandmother and I think that’s what I truly like about her because she has that kind and compassionate spirit in her. I also like the fact that she is able to humble herself when she needs to and the self control that she has at times. She doesn’t let anger overcome her she is chill, clam and a collective person and I truly love that about her. “Her crisp meat pies and cool lemonade, when joined to her miraculous ability to be in two places at one time, assured her business success. From being a mobile lunch counter, she set up a stand between two points of fiscal interest and sup-plied the workers’ needs for years. Then she had a store built in the heart of the Negro area.” ( Angelou 6). I Think the author shows great characterization by showing how hard working Maya’s grandmother is since she was able to open a store and run it and still have time to take care of her loved one’s. She also shows great characterization of Maya’s grandmother by not only showing her caring personality towards her grandchildren but also to others. I think it might be fun to write a description of my dad because he’s a funny and weird person but also a hardworking person.
My description of my Dad
Black hair, big calves, but big heart. The one that always comes home and goes back to the office. The one that always get yelled out for working out too late but loved for being sweet and kind. My dad’s always busy but somehow he makes time for me and my family and hey he might come to all of my chorus concerts but at least I know he’s making money for my benefit and my family’s.
I agree! The character that you described sounds like the sweetest, kindest grandmother ever. The fact that she puts others before herself makes her stand out as a great person. Also, your description of your dad is great! It includes great examples and great descriptions of different things. This book sounds great! I'll try to read it in the future!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you describe the grandmother with your own details, and not just using the books words. But I also like how you involved the books phrases and sentences to prove your point. You analyzed what the author was saying and were not just reading the words. That is one thing I know I need to work on.
ReplyDeleteI love that you chose Momma because she is also my favorite character in the book! You masterfully explain why you love her so much, who wouldn't because she is the nicest and selfless person there is. At least that is how she is portrayed. I also love the description you gave of your dad who also sounds amazing by the way, and how you related him back to Momma.
