| Quote #7 so that she had to go to her grandmother's in Pittsburgh (18) |
Location! Home! Pittsburgh is significant to our speaker's family. But also, family is important to our speaker's family. Here we see his mother going to her grandmother's after her parents die. In a way, it's like she's going back in time (to be cared for by her older grandmother), yet she remains connected to her family—just like our speaker. Jinx!
